It occurs to me that I could be more helpful. :-)

Where do the images you want to animate exist
at the time you want to animate them? Are they
in memory as variables? Did you display then someplace?
Are they in individual display windows? Or are all the
images in one window? How did you put them in the window?

If you have to copy them from some other display window
to the animation window, then the "DEVICE COPY"
technique is probably what you want to use.

None of this *has* to be done in a FOR loop, of course,
it is just easier this way. For example, if you wanted
to animate five images, and they were already displayed
in windows 1, 4, 10, 38 and 52 and these windows were
all the same size as your animation window (say 400 by 500),
then you could do this:

XInterAnimate, Set=[400,500,5],/Showload
XInteranimate,Frame=0,Window=1
XInteranimate,Frame=1,Window=4
XInteranimate,Frame=2,Window=10
XInteranimate,Frame=3,Window=38
XInteranimate,Frame=4,Window=52
XInteranimate,50

Cheers,

David
