Animated .gifs aren’t supported in Corona. You should set up sprite sheets. Here’s a basic tutorial if you haven’t seen it already: http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2012/10/02/animated-sprites-and-methods/

If there’s no other option than animated gif, you could to consider using the native.webView to display it. The browser is capable of displaying animated gifs and if you encapsulate it in an html file, you can do some markup as well.
