AGS only supports BMP or PCX graphic files
You'll need to convert all the frames from each animated gif to a BMP (or PCX) file,

for objects,  import them into the sprite manager, then recreate the animation frame by frame in the views tab of the editor, you'll need to read the manual to learn how to make the object animate.

for animating backgrounds, you go to the room in the editor and click on the animating backgrounds button and import the frames one by one.

Hope that helps
