animated gif as my finder icon

This should be easy I guess, but maybe I just don't know my apps well enough.

I want to use an animated GIF, and have it operate - it's a waving flag) as my finder icon rather than the hard drive image.

I know how to paste a static image using GET INFO method, but can I get some action on my desktop icon?

MacBook PRO2,2, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry, but I don't think OS X supports animated icons. On the other hand there are ways to add a drop or mouse-over state for icons; look at the regular blue folder icon, it opens when you drag-n-drop over it.
