Is it possible to make a UI animated?

As far as I know, that's not possible.
The regular UI is determined by a load of textures, but these textures cannot be animated.

I think they're not used on a model, but rather shown directly (unlike the loading screen, which is a model).
It's pretty much like fade filters: they also cannot be animated, unless you loop through a series of different textures - the UI is the same aside from the fact that you cannot loop through textures to show it to a certain player.
