Gif to something smoother/flashier

I use this image on a website I do for a friend but is there anything I can use that would give me the same size logos just with a nicer transition?
The website builder allows me to insert flash movies and of course html both of which I have no real idea about.

Any pointers for me chaps?

Using flash for this is the exact reason everyone hates flash. How about jQuery with Nivo Slider?

Looks good but very complex

Please don't use flash for it.

As Spunkey said, the jQuery Javascript Library is ideal for this

JQuery would probably be the easiest and then use something like the jquery.innerfade plugin (http://medienfreunde.com/lab/innerfade/) -

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.innerfade.js"></script> 

<script>
$(document).ready(function() { 
	$('#image_rotate').innerfade({ 
		speed: 'slow', 
		timeout: , 
		type: 'sequence', 
		containerheight: '220px'
	});
});
</script>
<ul id="image_rotate" style="list-style: none outside none;">
	<li><im src="image1.jpg"></li>
	<li><im src="image2.jpg"></li>
	<li><im src="image3.jpg"></li>
        <li><im src="image4.jpg"></li>
</ul>

yeah, avoid flash....for little animations it just isn't worth it...
And if Nivo Slider is beyond you, then Flash won't be any easier!

Gif it is then chaps

Many thanks for your suggestions but as great as it looks, it's all a bit beyond me at present.

All you have to do is paste what visibleman quoted and change the img URLs?

Thing is, I use One&One My Business Site Builder. Its pretty good for simple people like me but is restrictive when you want to do something more complex.

All it allows me to do html wise is insert code into the header and add html code into certain places on the website... ie you click insert new element and get various choices (text, pictures, html etc etc)
It doesn't even allow me to have an ftp facility.
