Hey... my understanding of how to convert a series of .fig files to an animation is based on the advice given to me in a previous post. Here is what I have, which is incorrect due to my unfamiliarity with structural arrays...

fh=figure;
open 1.fig;
M(1)=getframe(fh);
open 2.fig;
M(2)=getframe(fh);
open 3.fig;
M(3)=getframe(fh);
c=cat(1,M(:))
s=struct('frames',c)
movie(s)

Can anyone do a quick fix? Thanks so much...

well...
the pseudo-code did not include the STRUCT conversion...

in your code, simply use

movie(c);

Removing the s=struct... line and using movie(c); didn't seem to work. A frame opened when the movie(c) line was executed, but nothing appeared within. Does anyone know what I might be missing? Thanks again..

Take another look at the movie documentation.

movie takes a movie structure such as is produced by getframe(). So just

movie(M)

"doc movie" has an explicit getframe example showing the transfer of the
getframe data right in to a movie call without any structure alteration.

well...
let's look at your code, again

fh=figure; % <- this is NOT needed...
open 1.fig; % <- this opens a NEW figure with a different
handle, ie, ~FH...
m(1)=getframe(fh); % <- this collects data from the figure
FH, which is empty, of course...
% hence, try
m(1)=getframe(gcf); % <- always sample from the current
figure
