Help, with graphics..animation

[Ambitious One]

I wanted to know if it is possible to add animation to graphics that you make via Paint Shop Pro X, am I good or do I require an external application in order to achieve what I would like to add to the few images that I have created?

There are many problems that I would like to post, but I'm still trying to learn the system, but other than that.

How do you add animation like the slider effect, switching through many different pictures, and animations like "light" flashes, or part of the graphic changing back in forth..etc.

Thanks for the help.
