I would like to texture a plane with a normal map but keep the image colorkey. I don't know how to set that up shader or FX file???

I'm alittle confused cause your title is different to the question posted. Are you talking about 2D Sprites or 3D Quads or Shader Point Sprites?

Animated normals is just re-texturing the normal channel with the next frame of the normals texture and looping. As of keeping image colorkey, I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Theres no way to make certain colors transparent when you texture the polygon with the calculated normals?

For 2D Sprites or 3D Quads or Shader Point Sprites I'm just trying to normal map a plane and hide the plane geometry which isn't used. All I need is something that works. The missing geometry of it only being a plane is accounted for with a Normal map texture library. I just need to normal map a texture and display it to the screen with transparency.
