Answer 1

You cant do animated gifs this way.
Also you should remember that you cannot load images in to an applet if it is hosted somewere else than the host that hosts the applet.
Esiast way to display an image icon with a animated gif will be creating a Image Label and adding it to the applet.
Ex:-
public class MyImageApplet extends JApplet{
   public void init(){
      getConentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
       URL imageURL = getClass().getResource("/myImage.gif"); 
      // Above image file should be in the code base or in the archive file of the applet
      getConentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(imageURL)));
}
