I don't see support gif =/

exists?

It depends on the targeted platform. gif is supported when building for flash, although flash don't support animated gif.
For OpenFL, I'm pretty sure it's not supported, it supports png and jpeg.

Yes it is possible to add this features though it is not trivial. I'd take a look at this class which takes care of loading pictures for the flash platform : https://github.com/silexlabs/Cocktail/blob/master/cocktail/port/platform/flash_player/ImageResource.hx
