What I've been doing is generating a series of png files and animating them
with java. I wrote an animation player in java that lets the user sweep
through the animation with their arrow keys if they want to. You can have a
look at some examples on my web page: www.paulsorenson.com . The animations
on that page automatically cache themselves on your machine via java
webstart. At this point, I'm not sure how to remove the cache :-) Maybe
just seek and destroy the files:-)
