[moin-user] Looping animations in Moin pages

[Keith Lofstrom]

I operate a few Moin websites for self-published 
engineering topics (with jsmath equations!).  

In the past, I've added about 50 swf animations that loop
and repeat; typically rotating or time-evolving 3D objects,
10 to 30 second loops, 10 to 30 frames per second. 

I processed directories of full color anti-aliased images
into shockwave flash, which worked fine in the past. 
SWF is deemed insecure and depreciated now.

For example, see   http://server-sky.com/IEEESustech2013
and the attachments for that.  That page is an old version
of Moin and python; I am building an updated website now.

What alternative animation format should I use with Moin?

How do I process a directory of images into that format,
and how do I display the resulting attachment in a Moin
table window? (code snippet please?) 

What "animations for dummies" web page teaches how to 
create that suggested format?

Recently, I learned enough to create mpeg animations that
make one pass and stop.  I don't know how to make them
automatically and continuously cycle in a Moin-formatted
page.  Or how to avoid displaying control buttons. 
I just want to display a looping movie (or two or three)
in Moin-formatted page frames (typically a table, next
to descriptive text).

Suggestions?  Addon python or Moin modules?
