Animated arrow thing, possibly dashed border?

How do I get a moving arrow on my icon? I know it involves dashes and animation, but I was wondering if anybody could explain it. Which font would work best? Do I just combine | with - to go around corners? I noticed that one is longer than the other though. So do I chose one or the other and flip them?

Also, how do I get a dashed border around my icon and make it look like it's moving around the icon? Is it going to take me forever in animation shop?

I was hoping to do this tonight, so could you please reply to this or send me an IM. My sn is konfusedkatelynn. If I have an away message on, ignore it, I am sure I will be there.

I'm using PSP 7 and Animation Shop.

Sorry for the x-postage.
