For those of you not familiar, there is a public domain desk accessory 
called Go-Go. This DA features an animated display of a Go-Go dancer. 
I figured that the animation was done with offscreen bitmaps.

When I checked its resource file, I made an incredible discovery. It 
contains a PICT resource that animates by itself! There I was in ResEdit 
with the PICT window opened, and the PICT was animating with no help from 
the DA.

My question is how was this done?
