>>I have adobe photoshop. so I may play around with it.

If you have one of the more recent versions (approx the last 2 or 3 years?) then Photoshop comes with the companion program ImageReady which is what you will use to create the animation. For some reason Adobe has chosen to keep the two apps separate instead of just putting all of the features into Photoshop, even though almost all of the other features overlap.

If you don't have ImageReady then you can still make the GIFs for each "frame" of the animation in Photoshop, and then look for something cheap or free on the web to combine the frames into one animated GIF. It is easy in Photoshop if you use layers for all the changes. (ImageReady lets you turn the layers into frames one by one for a more integrated solution.)

If you know your way around the basics of Photoshop you should have no problem doing this. If you want help on one of the features needed to do this feel free to drop me an email or a private message!
