Hola!

I was using Mathematica to visualise trajectories of x[p],y[p] depending on p.
Is it possible?

Talking about "it's simple
to animate the parametric plot of them by using ParametricPlot inside
Animate."

But I cannot animate the NDSolve using ParametricPlot.
Can you please tell me why I get errors like "NDSolve::dsvar: 1.0011952113073699` cannot be used as a variable. ":

Animate[
   ParametricPlot[
      {Evaluate[{y[p], x[p]} /. sol =
            NDSolve[...some equation type D[f1[x[p],y[p],p] = -D[x[p], p],
               f2[x[p],y[p],p] = -D[y[p], p]
                x[1] == -1, y[1] == -1}, {y[p], x[p]}, {p, 1, Tp}]]},                        
                 {p, 1, Tp}], {Tp, 1, 100}]

Thank you!

Hi, Ljuba,

Your code has nothing wrong in it except that you kept it without a precise equation. Have a look at the code below.
I have only written down a simple equation containing a focus into your code:
x'[p] == -y[p] - x[p]^3,
y'[p] == x[p] - y[p]^3

The animation appears to be rather spectacular:

Animate[
 ParametricPlot[
   Evaluate[{y[p], x[p]} /.
     NDSolve[{x'[p] == -y[p] - x[p]^3, y'[p] == x[p] - y[p]^3,
       x[1] == -1, y[1] == -1}, {y[p], x[p]}, {p, 1, Tp}]], {p, 1,
    Tp}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}] /. Line -> Arrow, {Tp, 1,
  30}]

Try it. Have fun.

Alexei
