Yeah, Imageready.
But how to use Imageready...? LOL
You can start in Photoshop and create the frames for the animation in there. Use lots of layers, but its ok to have one layer for a background or something. If something moves, you're going to need more than one layer to show that movement.
Once you've got all the layers set up, import your work into Imageready (bottom button on the toolbar, looks like a couple boxes with an arrow).
Once in Imageready you should see the animation tab at the bottom. If not, just select it under the window menu.
There will be one frame displaying all your layers. Turn off the layers you don't want displayed in the first frame. Then click the new frame icon (it looks like the new layer icon) in the animation tab. Frame two will be a copy of frame one. Reselect all the layers you want for frame two... and so on and so forth.
If you click underneath each frame where it says "0 sec." it'll bring up a menu and you can choose the timing for each frame.
Thats about it, when you save it, make sure you choose "Save Optimized As" and fiddle with the settings until you find the best compromise between quality and size.
Have fun!
