I think if you want a picture scripted, as it is not possible to set the LL background by script atm, you’d have to set up one item for every pixel…

Perhaps what he want is something like a gif.
What can be done easily (really) is to place n items with a picture each one, and then just show/hide all except one cyclically.
The number of items and the velocity of change is easy to set up.

Oh, yes for short animations this is acceptable expenditure

Perhaps you should explain a bit more what you want.
An item which icon change?
A background that change?
A picture that is moving across the screen?

Troy you should post a link to an example of what you want from a site or video or something. These two guys are very keen on scripting and will probably be able to help you out easily once they get a better idea of what you want.

I know what he want, and I already said how to do it…but I forget to answer specifically, sorry.
The best to do this is to place a lot of items, all with the same settings except the icon.
Then with a script you just need to
a) move one to the position desired, the others far far away (and repeat with a timeout)
Or
b) place all of them in the same position and from script set their active state to false except one (repeat with a timeout too)
However keep in mind this should run forever, more battery consumption, ram…

It seems like just using a gif widget would be better for what you want but either way seems like it would take up quite a bit of battery/ram/etc.
GifWidget is the one I use and I’ve had a few on my screen at a time without much issues but I do have a Note 3 so I’m not sure how well lower end devices might run it.
