How to play animation/movie instead of iPhone splash screen?

Question

I want to play an animation(Gif) or a movie instead of Default.png. Is that possible? I tried what is described in this blog :http://www.cuppadev.co.uk/iphone/playing-animated-g

Answer 1

If you're asking about a sanctioned App Store app, then no, you can't use anything but a static Default.png.

If you're writing an app for jailbroken phone, this may be possible (but I don't know).
