May be I am not doing something right in Manipulate to cause the Export[] to take so long and someone can see it. This is my first Manipulate program, I just started to learn it. So far, I like it. http://12000.org/my_courses/FULLERTON_COURSES/summer_2007/Math_503/HW/HW6/index.htm I like using Flash to export to. The file size is much smaller than say AVI. So I think I will be using flash more to export to, but having to wait 20-30 minutes each for the export to finish is too long. (May be I should just buy one of those fast intel core2 PC with 20 GB of RAM or something). Nasser
