<BR>
this is exactly the technique I use. Generate streamlines. Then<BR>
iso-contour the streamline object with the scalar field<BR>
"IntegrationTime". Use a single threshold. Then animate the threshold<BR>
value. Use Mode=Sequence, get a ramp between minimum time and maximun time.<BR>
Use Glyphs (small spheres or arrows) attached to the iso-valued contours<BR>
and they will "animate" their position along the streamlines.<BR>
