Tim,

The following code will do what you want. Note that *Animate* must 
enclose *LocatorPane*. Also, I have added a *Dynamic* function inside 
*Circle*.

DynamicModule[{p = {0, 0}},
   Animate[
     LocatorPane[Dynamic[p],
       Graphics[Circle[Dynamic[p], t], PlotRange -> {{-7, 7}, {-7, 7}}]],
   {t, 0, 7}]]

Regards,
Jean-Marc
