saving Question

Basic Question…I made a small animation with rotating a camera around an object. I saved the file and then went to re-open the file and the object was there as normal but the path that the camera moved was gone. It was like I saved the scene but not the animation. I was not using a curve for the path of the camera, I just set up keyframes for where i wanted the camera to go…

Hope this makes sense…

Just made a quick test. Animated a camera which was flying around a sphere, pointing towards the sphere during the animation. I used keyframes for the animation. Then I saved the file, closed the file and opend the file again. The animation is still there, I can start it with alt-a.

Did the animation play as expected before you saved and closed the file?
