as  animate packages's update README said:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/fed1af9defff946b/ca8fae06d12fcb66?show_docid=ca8fae06d12fcb66

the new animate package now can support dvipdfmx & XeTex backend. and
the code was contribute by Jin-Hwan Cho. but In my expriment, the
package still can't work well with dvipdfmx.

A simple test file: ani.tex is as following:

%<-----------------------<---------------------------<-------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{animate}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{fourier}

\usetikzlibrary{shapes,arrows,calc,trees,snakes}
\usetikzlibrary{mindmap}

\begin{document}



\begin{animateinline}[step, controls]{1}
\begin{tikzpicture} [thick]
\draw (0,0) rectangle (2,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\newframe
\begin{tikzpicture} [thick]
%   \draw (0,0) rectangle (2,2);
\draw (0,1) -- (1,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\newframe
\begin{tikzpicture} [thick]
\draw (0,0) rectangle (2,2);
\draw (0,1) -- (1,2);
\draw (1,2) -- (1,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{animateinline}

\end{document}
%<-----------------------<---------------------------<-------------------------

I use

latex ani
latex ani
dvipdfmx ani

to compile it , and I can't get the right pdf out.

BTW: I've also tried the XeTex driver, it also sucks.
