Animated Gifs

I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to put hotspots on animated gif images. I know the professor said it might not be possible to do it that way but during project 2 I saw someone else using an animated image and being able to click on them to another page. So if anyone has other alternatives to make a moving picture on a different type of file and create hotspots please let me know because it would help my project come along nicely.
