Animate button not appearing

I thought I'd give the new animated graph feature a try, but every time I load some time series data and graph it, the 'animate' button does not appear in the graph toolbar.
Which means I can't animate the graph.
I have Eviews12 and all the latest updates and patches.
Some clues as to what is going wrong would be appreciated [:)]

How are you making the graph?

Thanks Gareth,
I'm making the graph in Eviews. Select time-series variable, then generate the graph with the quick graph tool. It's done as the default line form.

Animation is only available from the Graph View of a series or group, or from a Graph Object that has auto-updating turned on.
The method you are using to create a graph creates a Graph Object, and the global default is that auto-updating is not turned on. If you go to the graph options dialog (hit the Options button on the graph), then navigate the tree to Graph Updating, you can turn on automatic updating.
