I do suggest running your "work" in a separate thread. AsyncCalls is a good library which works well for helping you get there easily. Tight loops or blocking calls can cause your animation to look jumpy or stop completely.

The "spinning images" are usually animated GIFs. Do a google search for the phrase in quotes to learn about them, and you should also find software that will help you create them as well. Support for them has been included in Delphi for a couple of years now.

If animated GIFs aren't good enough, you can look into AVI files. They're what Windows uses to show files being copied, folders being scanned, and other things. TAnimate is the Delphi component that supports them.
