One way is to set the repeatCount of the GIF to 0 and use your own timer to
update the GIF using the currentFrame.  Something like:

 local fCount
 on updateGIF
  if fCount = empty or fCount = the frameCount of img myGIF then \
    put 0 into fCount
  add 1 to fCount
  set the currentFrame of img myGIF to fCount
  send "updateGIF" to me in 100 millisecs -- UPDATE GIF EVERY 1/10 SECOND
 end updateGIF

 set the repeatCount of img myGIF to -1
