3D animation in MATLAB

Hello! I was given a task to animate the following figure:
u = 0:0.02:1;
v = 0:pi/25:2*pi;
[u,v] = meshgrid(u,v);
x = (2 + u.*cos(v)).*sin(2.*pi.*u);
y = (2 + u.*cos(v)).*cos(2.*pi.*u) + 2.*u;
z = u.*sin(v);
s = surf(x,y,z,'LineStyle','none');
set(s,'FaceColor','red','EdgeColor','none');
lighting phong;
camlight('headlight')
axis equal tight off;
As you can see, I've managed to plot it, but I have no idea, how to animate it! :(
Could you help me, please?

What exactly would you like to animate? The code you have given us does not have a time component to it. If you do manipulate the function and want to make an animation based on what is displayed between updates to the framebuffer of the axes, then look up the getframe and movie commands.

I've recently been writing about creating animations on our graphics blog . Perhaps some of those would be helpful. For example, this post or this post might give you some ideas.
