[Paraview] Generating an animation in Paraview 3.2.1 ( vs. Paraview 2.6 )

[Hom Nath Gharti]

He has series of stl files like: result_0001.stl, result_0002.stl and so
on.... in his web address:
http://www.topopt.dtu.dk/MPI08/ParaviewSTL/stl_data.zip

I tried and looks like legacy vtk animation method doesn't work with stl
files in 3.2.1!
