I need to do something like this:

   AnimatedImage = "imagename" + frame_number + ".png"

   texture {
      pigment { image_map { png Animatedimage } }
   }

So what I'm trying to do is add an animated texture to my scene.  Can this
be done with macros or whatever?

TIA
, Espen

#declare MapName=concat("imagename",str(frame_number,0,0),".png")

Should work.  Make sure frame_number is formatted properly.  Also, the
extension is not explicitly needed, but can be kept if you like it...
