I was trying to get a .gif file working in Lazarus, but Lazarus does
not have any component for it.  I tried a few third party components,
but i couldn't get any of them working.  If anyone knows of a good
.gif animation component pleas tell me.

I don't know, but you can use BGRASpriteAnimation to create animations
from bitmap.

Is better than gif because you can use Alpha images.

Edit: now you can call AnimatedGifToSprite to convert any .gif
animation you have and then load to BGRASpriteAnimation.

iirc lazarus has the htmllite components, and afaik it has a component
(or at least code) to animate a gif
