Dear guru.

I need to update the colors in a VMD movie.
I know how to select atom types, but these are not
recomputed on each frame! (even by selecting the
option
in "Graphcal Representation/trayectory/update
selection ..."
I have gone crazy changing all king of parameters.

I also tried scripting ...

I have this kind of file:

(each frame should get recomputed atom types).
If this is not possible, how can I read these from
different files, and then
visualize in a simulation one at a time?.
I would like to do this for files containing hundreds
of atoms, and hundreds of frames,
so doing this manually is not an option :(

Your help would be appreciated.
