Yes, I know that. That's the way one used to do animations, back in the olden days. My point is that I want to use Animate or Manipulate, and export an animation that runs once in the forward direction only, not forward then backward. Is there no way to do it? I'll be teaching a group of (extremely) bright high school students to make animations in Mathematica at the (Vermont) Governor's Institute in Mathematical Sciences in a few weeks. The kids have never seen Mathematica before, and I'll only have them for a single session of an hour or so. We will use Animate to make animations, and use the Classroom Assistant or Basic Math Input palette to help with input, so that I won't have to spend a lot of time teaching them Mathematica syntax. There won't be time to mess around with making tables of individual frames; I need the simplest, quickest way for them to make an animation, which is Animate. -- Helen Read University of Vermont
