Sigh...
Take the first XInteranimate command and put it *before*
the loop. And make the number of frames equal to the
number of files you have:
XInterAnimate, Set=[400,500,numFiles],/Showload
Take the last XInteranimate command and put it *after*
the loop.
Leave the middle XInteranimate command where it is.
Now you will be able to animate your output, whatever
it is. :-)

I think we have covered this ground before. We are mostly
out of ideas here. But I *would* try setting up your 3D coordinate
system on the basis of the data values themselves, and not
the number of dimensions of the data arrays. I think that will be
more fruitful. :-)
Scale3, xr=[Min(Vx), Max(Vx)], $
yr=[Min(Vy), Max(Vy)], $
zr=[Min(Vz), Max(Vz)], $
AX=50, AZ=50

Then you will have to re-write this program, which uses
commands that work in the *direct* graphics system, with
commands that work in the *object* graphics system. The
two systems are completely incompatible. I think, quite
honestly, you are quite far away from being able to write
an object graphics program. I think I would try to get
something working in direct graphics first. There will be
plenty of time to learn object graphics after you gain some
experience. :-)
