Are you able to create and add moving clips such as is so what file format and can photoshop 7do it or will i need a different program

Add movie clips to what?

Msn messenger, not like movie clips but like "lol" like glowing and changing colour.

Custom Emoticons.
And yes, you'll need a graphics editing program like Photoshop.

I do have photoshop, but i have created a animation clip using image ready but it only saves as a ".psd" file format

There should be an option to Export, and one of the export options will be GIF. I would tell you where to find the option, but I've never used Photoshop myself.

In ImageReady (comes with photoshop), after you animate it select Save Optimized As.

It only saves 1 frame and in a file format .html

Then you didn't select the right options.

There is only 3 choices which are
Html and images
html
images
and they both save as a file fromat .HTML what file format should it be

WTF? That sounds like the wrong export to me. There should be an export option that lists GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF etc.

well some1 told me 2 "save ompimitzed as" n thts wt i gt. put them file formats u just sed wont they just save them as images because i want to add it to msn and to have them playin

http://www.grafx-design.com/08photo.html describles making a GIF.
http://www.absolutecross.com/tutorials/photoshop/.../transparent-gifs/ too.

you should save as a GIF image file as it supports animation.

only file formats .bmp .tif .tga .pxr .pcx and .psd

ok.. do the "save optimised as.." again and save using the "images only" option.

hopefully this will automatically save as GIF format.

No it saves it as a .Jpg but it only saves 1 frame

ah... well go to "window" in the menu, and  choose "optimise" in the dropdown menu.
Then where you see where it says "JPEG" in the optimise palette, choose "GIF" instead.

hope this will solve that problem.

Thankyou so much m8 i changed tht at the start cos i never set out to create 1.

Is there anyway that you could have it as yor picture display

Display Picture? Afraid not. It would eat into BlueMountain, WeeMee and Meego.

no, you cannot use animated GIF files as your display picture.
