We currently don't have an animated texture feature, but there are a few alternatives depending on what mechanic you are trying to create. For example, you can use ScrollView on an UI gizmo if the purpose is to have a scrollable display; or you can change textures and materials dynamically using TypeScript. If you share more details about your scenarios, there could be a workaround.

what about a sprite animation (single texture, NxM square offset animation)... or a flowing water texture animation?

To create any sort of sprite or texture animation currently you will need the image frames as a texture asset and either:

1: Dynamically update the texture on a mesh via scripting

2: Cycle through the images in order on a custom UI
