Unable to get Movie from simple code

Hi:

   Can any one figure it out for me that why am I unable to get a movie from the following code? When I run the code, am able to see the animation, however, when I try to playback the frames using movie() function I get nothing. 

if true
clc;
close all;
clear all;
xDispMax = sqrt(10);     
yDispMax = sqrt(10);
xCam = 0;
yCam = 0;
zCam = 0;
xTgt = 3e1 / sqrt(2);
yTgt = 3e1 / sqrt(2);
zTgt = 0;
[xSph ySph zSph] = sphere(25);
figureHndl = figure;
axesHndl = axes;
surfaceHndl = surface(xSph + xTgt, ySph + yTgt, zSph + zTgt);
axis([0 25 0 25 0 25])
axis('xy')
set(figureHndl, 'Color', [1 1 1]);
set(figureHndl, 'Renderer', 'painters');
set(axesHndl, 'XAxisLocation', 'bottom');
set(axesHndl, 'XColor', 'g');
set(axesHndl, 'XGrid', 'on');
set(axesHndl, 'YAxisLocation', 'left');
set(axesHndl, 'YColor', 'b');
set(axesHndl, 'YGrid', 'on');
set(axesHndl, 'CameraPositionMode', 'Manual');
set(axesHndl, 'CameraPosition', [xCam yCam zCam]);
set(axesHndl, 'CameraTargetMode', 'Manual');
set(axesHndl, 'CameraTarget', [xTgt yTgt zTgt]);
set(axesHndl, 'CameraViewAngleMode', 'Manual');
set(axesHndl, 'CameraViewAngle', 20);
set(axesHndl, 'Projection', 'Perspective');
for k = 1:1
xCamNew = 10;
yCamNew = 0;
camPos = get(axesHndl, 'CameraPosition');
xCamPosNew = linspace(camPos(1), camPos(1) + xCamNew, 100);
yCamPosNew = linspace(camPos(2), camPos(2) + yCamNew, 100);
camTgt = get(axesHndl, 'CameraTarget');
xCamTgtNew = linspace(camTgt(1), camTgt(1) + xCamNew, 100);
yCamTgtNew = linspace(camTgt(2), camTgt(2) + yCamNew, 100);
for i = 1:100;
  set(axesHndl, 'CameraPositionMode', 'Manual')
  set(axesHndl, 'CameraPosition', [xCamPosNew(i) yCamPosNew(i) zCam]);
  set(axesHndl, 'CameraTargetMode', 'Manual');
  set(axesHndl, 'CameraTarget', [xCamTgtNew(i) yCamTgtNew(i) 0]);
  hold all
  pause(0.1)
  M(i) = getframe(gcf);
end
end
end

Where is the line of code (in the above) that invokes movie?

@Geoff:

Actually I am only getting frames into M from this code and then later trying to playback from command line using "movie(M)" function. However only half of a frame loads and then it stucks for whole length of the movie.

[Geoff Hayes]

It seems to work for me - the half-sphere moves from the right to the left and eventually ends with only half of it showing. While not all of the image is shown (when compared to the animation) the vast majority of it is. And there does not appear to be any "sticking" for the whole length of the movie.

:( why it isn't working for me ?

Am not sure. Have you verified that M is a 1x100 element struct?
