I have ppt 2002, and am trying to have multiple animated gifs on the same
page (overlapped). Basically, I have each one "appearing" on a mouse click,
and then doing it's animation without a loop, then another mouse click to
activate the next gif animation on top of the first (I am doing this with 8
gif animations). The weird thing is that the animation doesn't always work.
Sometimes as I mouse click the animated gif is already halfway through or
other times it is already at it's last image. The animated gif very rarely
starts and ends correctly.
 
Animated gifs run even when they are not visible! There's no way to control
them in PowerPoint that I know of.

What you need can probably be done with animation within PowerPoint though
using "Flash Once" for each frame. There are some amazing examples on Shawn's
site

You can use the animation technique with the frames from an ani gif
