Hello

You can find and inspect the .m files of many Mathematica packages.

Start from your installation directory, which is given by
"C:\Programme\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\5.2" on my computer (use
$InstallationDirectory to find it for your computer).

The subdirectory "AddOns" contains several subdirectories (e.g.
"StandardPackages", "JLink", "ExtraPackages", etc.) which contain the
code for many Mathematica packages (like "XMLCapabilities",
"WebServices", "GUIKit", "JLink", "DifferentialEquations", etc.).

You will find the m-file "Animation.m" (which contains the function
"MovieContourPlot") in the subdirectory
"...\AddOns\StandardPackages\Graphics". You can inspect these files
using the Mathematica Frontend or a text editor.

You will learn a lot from studying these m-files.

Best Regards
Norbert Marxer
