The MagiPlay .FLI (flic) file player
MagiPlay is a .FLI (flic) player that allows you to display .FLI animation
files. You can freely distribute MAGIPLAY.EXE and the MAGIPLAY.DOC file
to your friends and associates and upload the files to electronic bulletin
boards. The only requirement is that both MAGIPLAY.EXE and MAGIPLAY.DOC be
together and unmodified.
The command to execute MagiPlay is :
magiplay file.fli /r=<loops> /s=<speed> /n /x /e /d /b /?
Where 'file.fli' is the .FLI file you wish to display, <loops> is the number
of times the animation is played, and <speed> is the playback speed. The /x
option specifies the use of Extended memory, /e specifies the use of Expanded
memory and /d specifies disk-based playback (the slowest). The /n option
will display a message during .FLI loading telling the user which memory
is used for playback. The /b option will "Burn" the playback speed into the
flic header, thus modifying the flic. The /? option will display a help
screen.
By default, the player uses it's memory scan feature. That is, it will
first try to fit the flic into Conventional memory, if this is not possible
it will scan for available Extended memory, if Extended memory is not
available it will scan for Expanded memory, and finally, if all else fails
it will use disk-based playback. The memory specifiers are not necessary
unless you really want to force MagiPlay to use a specific memory type.
The default memory scan feature should provide you with the best available
playback method.
By default the animation will play continuously. A playback speed of zero
is the fastest, 999 is the slowest. The default playback speed is the speed
assigned when the animation was created.
Once the animation is playing the following keys are active :
Escape : Exit player
Space-Bar : Toggle pause on/off
Up Arrow : Increase playback speed
Down Arrow : Decrease playback speed
Make sure "Num-Lock" is off if using the arrow keys on the numeric
keypad.
