Neat. MP -> Flash seems to work well. One thing, which you may know, gear teeth do not normally have rectangular profiles. Nowadays, they are usually involutes of a circle and formerly were usually cycloids (so the gears don't slip against each other when they turn). I don't have a reference, but google turned up http://www.cadquest.com/books/pdf/gears.pdf, which shows how to draw involute gears. Are you using the animations, or some frames perhaps, in a ConTeXt document? I usually use Mathematica for such animations, but it and its ilk are expensive, although there are other alternatives. As I'm still learning MP/Lua/ConTeXt, I'm just interested in the ways others use the system. Thanks for sharing.
