For this flash application I’m building, it would be nice to have people upload their custom graphics and animations so my application can load them in run-time.  
Is it possible to load a GIF file as a MovieClip that contains all frames in that GIF file? I want this to be as dynamic as possible, like the user tells my application the URL to a XML file that has all information about the graphics he wants to use, so that my application can download those graphics.
