Cant run animated gif in flash

Hy everyone,

I importing from xml a image gallery to as3… like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<photos>
    <photo>
        <thumbnail>test1.jpg</thumbnail>
        <filename>test1_2.jpg</filename>
        <title>Galeria 1 - Foto 1</title>
        <description>
        Les Blocs Cellier par leurs formes harmonieuses, rappelant les éléments de rangement des prestigieuses caves, rendront votre espace convivial, 
        </description>
    </photo>

This is working just fine, but i wanted now to put some gif beside of the jpg so i can show a progress work…

When i tryed to call the .gif file it imports but it stays stoped… just dont show the animation…

I would like to now if i can import a gif to my gallery and if it can be imported animated… if not, what solucions u got? i tryed to to import a simple swf from with the code i shown u but it dont even import anything.
