Animating moving points along a polyline

Question

Hi,

I need to display and animate moving points along a line.

I need to display a direction for each point, similar to the GPS position symbol in the google maps for android app.

I have a few ideas/clues; css rotation, streamlayer.

Does anyone know about any existing libraries for this functionality?

What kind of symbol could be appropriate ( a composite symbol? )

How would you go about solving this?

Take a look at the last bundled example that Riyas provided in this thread. It uses some CSS styling to animate a hash pattern along a line. It's not quite what you want but it's something.
