try to be more specific, what class holds the image?
Is it a scene node or a gui element?

If its a scene node you could use an animator(shown in movement tutorial). If its a gui element I don't think theres an animator for it.
So if its a gui element you will have to move it on your own, you can find methods that could do what you want here:http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/cl ... ement.html

I could not have been more specific in my text.
However, I guess for any sort of animations, I need to have the formatted file like b3d, mds format files for playing animation.
Am I correct ?

What? why? Is that text going to be a 3d mesh

You can just place a text scene node and move it. Though I don't quite understand why you want it to be in 3d space. You could just have a gui text element and move it along the screen.
