Lots of ways Barry but my primitive way is PaintShopPro Animation
(it is part of PSPro)
Fairly intuitive, you can drag the files around until they line up on a
common registration crosshair, view the anim, set the interval etc.
Makes an AVI or GIF.

It it's reasonably small you can do an animated GIF file otherwise load 2 JPEGs and do a quick javascript rollover like so (very simplistic and you can use any size):

//*********************
// in page header
//*********************
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() {
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}
function MM_swapImage() {
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
function MM_findObj(n, d) {
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.fra mes.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.le ngth;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n); return x;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

//*********************
// in your page body
//*********************

<img name="mypic" border="0" src="neutral.jpg" alt="mypic" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('mypic',' ','rollover.jpg',1);" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore();">

Thanks everyone. As I said, i just went to a site, uploaded the two images and it did it for me. Save to my computer and I can use it anywhere.

I'm glad I posted though, because it has brought some techniques out of the woodwork that others may find particularly useful!

Good work people!

Baz.
