FLX V0.8
coded by Ornaghi Alfredo
E-Mail : ted@intercom.it
Web page: http://www.intercom.it/~ted/
FREEWARE VERSION
Flx is a .FLI and .FLC animation viewer.
Flx shows the animations inside a Workbench's window or in its own 256 colours
screen.
Flx has been completely written in 68020 assembler. !!!
These are the characteristics of FLX :
- it shows the animation on a Workbench's window
- it shows the animation on a 256 colours screen
- possibility to use the original animation palette (256 colours Wb)
- possibility to use the original Workbench palette with any number of colours
- automatic colours remapping (Workbench based)
- reduction of the number of colours used by animation, in order to show it in WB
(for example : from 256 to 16)
- real time animation reshaping to adapt it to the window's dimension
- it shows the frame number and the total number of frames in the window's title
- possibility to show simultaneously more animations, executing FLX many times
(memory limited)
Through the menus it is possible :
- OPEN SCREEN : to open a 256 colours screen for the animation
- CLOSE SCREEN: to close the screen opened with OPEN SCREEN
- PALETTE ANIM: to use the original animation palette (better with 256 colours WB)
- PALETTE WB : to use the original Workbench palette (with re-mapping, scaling,
and so on)
