You can't have all these:
- animation
- smooth edges and/or shadow
- cross browser compatibility without a hack
- transparent background

You'll have to either accept jagged edges or re-design your animation for your background colors.

There's a trick for shadow effect - try using the semi-transparent pattern:
10101010
01010101
10101010
01010101
And it'll mimic a shadow quite well. Of course, there won't be smooth edges and gradual transparency.

You can't override file format's limitations...
