Well any animated picture is just like an image, so you can do the img BBCode on it. I'm not too sure on this, but I think those images need to be a gif image. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks. Anyway, the only help I can give you is that you treat it like a regular image, with a gif format.

Continuing on Frank's post. Do what Frank told you to do first. In order to post an image/animation on the forums, post it on Photobucket, imageshack, etc. then get the link from there and post it on here.

What program did you use to create the animation? Flash?

FACEBOOK
Even if your profile and photos are private, you can still share a photo with the public. Browse your photo gallery, find a photo you want to share, and at the bottom of the web page you'll see text that looks like this:
Share this photo with anyone by sending them this public link:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=12345&l=kjhasdkjhasd
If you cut and paste that URL into a new browser window/tab, you can see the photo and any comments, tagging, etc.
To get the public URL for the photo, you can do the following steps:
Google Chrome:
Right-click the photo and select "Copy Image URL"
Firefox:
Right-click the photo and select "Copy Image Location"
Safari:
Right-click the photo and select "Copy Image Address"
Internet Explorer:
Right-click the photo and select Properties
In the pop-up window, you can see the Address (URL) line, which you can select (start at the left side where you see "http://...", click and hold the left mouse button, and drag all the way to the right, and down; it may scroll a little bit and show you some hidden text if it's a long URL) and hit CTRL-C to copy the URL to your clipboard.
A Facebook photo URL may look something like this:
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs718.snc4/63796_430830050763_726405763_5674117_1984100_n.jpg
Now you can go to the photo thread, jump down to the reply area, click the "Image" button, and paste the URL of your image.
Make sure you don't have the http:// part twice (http://http://www.etc.etc), or the image won't work.
Click 'Submit' and your photo should appear in a reply message.

FLICKR
If you have a photo on Flikr, you can navigate to that photo, click on the "Share This" button at the top, and a little navigation menu will appear. Click on "Grab the Link" and the navigation window will change with a text field you can copy. The text field is labeled "Here's a link to this photo. Just copy and paste!". Select all of the text in the field, and copy it to your clipboard.
Flickr images will look like this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/10727829@N06/4381936173/
Now, you can go to the photo thread, jump down to the reply area, click the "Image" button, and paste the URL of your image.
Make sure you don't have the http:// part twice (http://http://www.etc.etc), or the image won't work.
Click 'Submit' and your photo should appear in a reply message.

IMAGESHACK
When viewing your images, there should be a small {i} icon beside each image. If you hover over it, it will say "share it". A new window will appear on the page, which will show you multiple ways to share the photo. The easiest method is to copy everything in the "Forums" field, where it already includes the 'img' bits you'll need for the forums here. At this point, you have everything you need. Just go to the photo thread, and paste the code into a reply message, but BEFORE you click the "Submit" button, you may need to make a quick change. If the ImageShack code looks like [IMG] or [/IMG] you should change it to lowercase like or otherwise it may not work properly.

I have no idea then.

Try taking whatever file type (.swf, .jpg, whatever) and type into google (thefiletype) to .gif converter.

Also, there are some pivot animation threads around the AMW, so try checking with the creators of some and asking how they got it to work.

Stykz saves animation in .stk or some other obscure file format, yeah? If so, you'll have to convert your animation to .gif before posting it here (since not all file types can be posted via [img] tags).

Not sure what the easiest way for you to convert it through would be.
