The simplest way to display a spectrum would be to simply plot the
flux vs wavelength using PLOT.

The simplest way to make a 'movie' would be to use WRITE_GIF,/MULTIPLE
to make an animaited GIF by looping over each of your 100 spectra and
plotting them. This makes for a very inefficent movie in terms of file
size, but may be suitable for your purposes.
