How to create an animation..

I want to have something like Image but it's linear and moves around randomly , not just in circles.

What would be the most appropriate software to do this? I assume it's flash but the only thing i know is making a teapot move from 1 point to the other.
 
If you want one simple animation you can do it with javascript, divs, and visibility. Flash is more appropriate for involved or longer animations, or any animation that is interactive. You'll probably do better on this question in the programming forum.
 
Actually it is a legitimate software question. There are many such programs out there. Here are some freebies.

Animate
 
to make the individual frames - Photoshop or the equivalent image editing program.

to compile them into an animated GIF - Ulead GIF Animator.

maybe that's the brute-force approach.
