I have not been able to use export directly with the "Animation" package.  But
you can work around this by manually making the animation.  I illustrate this
below:

In[1]:=
Clear[p,x,t];

In[2]:=
p = Table[Plot[Sin[2 Pi x t],{x,0,1}],{t,1,3}]

In[3]:=
Export["c:\junk.gif",p,
ConversionOptions->{"AnimationDisplayTime"->1,"Loop"->False}]

Note:  the double quotes are necessary in the ConversionOptions statement.  I
have found that without double quotes these options are ignored.  See the online
help under Export (additional information) for a big list of export options.
