- 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)
- - LOAD ANIM : to load a new animation (available from the 0.9 version)
- - ABOUT : information about the programme
- - QUIT : exit from FLX
-
-
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- Amiga OS 2.04+ (68020 or greater!)
-
-
-
- HOW TO USE FLX:
- Usege: CLI only:
-
- flx [ANIM NAME],[XPOS],[YPOS],[XSIZE],[YSIZE],[MAXX],[MAXY]
-
- ANIM NAME = file's name
- XPOS,YPOS = the new positions for this window
- XSIZE,YSIZE = the new dimensions for this window
- MAXX,MAXY = the new limits for the size of this window
-
-
-
- example:
-
-
- flx hd1:anim/prova.fli 10 10 320 200 640 400
-

- HISTORY:
- - 0.9 : aminet version
- - some bugs corrected !!! Now Flx is more stable then previous!!
- - new functions added about information on animation
- - added drawer and file path
- - added support for not standard 320x200 file!
- - added BestModeIDA for open screen
- - command line parsing is now done with ReadArgs()
- - animation's name
- - position's window (X & Y)
- - window's size (X & Y)
- - maximum window's size (X & Y)
- - fixed guru's bug in asl file request access
- - fixed dug in window's size
- - fixed bug in file's name using asl.library
- - fixed bug in window's size
- - fixed bug in colours remapping routine
- - added keyboard shortcuts
-
- - Already corrected bug in 0.9beta :
- - There seems to be a bug in the *Window's Size* option. When you go
- from one percentage to a lower %'age (e.g. 50% -> 30% or 70% -> 60%
- etc.), the sizing gadget and the vertical blue border gets fucked up.
- From : Jan-Tore Eliassen (E-MAIL: jteliassen@mail.link.no )
-
- - If you use the *Window's Size* option when you *haven't* loaded an
- anim, it jumps to a 10% window, and won't get bigger no matter what
- %'age you try to pick. Have to use the mouse to get it bigger. When
- you have loaded an anim *Window's Size* option work again.
- From : Jan-Tore Eliassen (E-MAIL: jteliassen@mail.link.no )
-
- - When I use the *Project/Load Anim* and there's a long path name, Flx
- doesn't find the file. If I try a couple of times my Amiga crashes...
- e.g. cd0:resources/animations/fli/fli_anims/<fli-animation> (I use
- the FLI animations on Amiga Format CD3 for test purposes).
- From : Jan-Tore Eliassen (E-MAIL: jteliassen@mail.link.no )
-
-
- - 0.9beta (only for beta-tester) :
- - Added asl.library for file request
- - Menus are now font-sensitive
- - News functions added in menus:
- - New about
- - Size window from 10% to 100% of the original
- - Frame's number/Total frames's number in window's title
- - Changed some internal codes, the new size is about the half of previous
- version....
- - Scaling routine has been optimized at 100%
- - Scaling and colours remapping routine has been optimized at 100%
- - Internal buffer of 64000 byte has been eliminated.
- - Max window width (320) and window height (200) are now illimitate...
- (only in version 0.9 final!
- - Menus in flx's screen was removed! Now Close Screen = Esc!
-
-
- - Already corrected bug :
-
- - Close Screen option always puts the animation's palette: bug fixed!
- - Open Window after Close Screen puts a wrong size : bug fixed!
-
-
- - Already corrected bug report :
-
- - Every time that I ran FLX the program kept >~62k of Chip mem.
- From : peter mysliwy (E-MAIL : pamiga@user1.channel1.com)
-
- - Make the program font sensitive. The menues look real *crap* on my
- 8bit CyberGfx 768x576 screen.
- From : Jan-Tore Eliassen (E-MAIL: jteliassen@mail.link.no )
-
- - The menus' layout is not correct and not font-adaptive, at least in
- my 800x600 CyberGFX Wb with "Times 13"
- From : Daniele Carnino (E-MAIL: Daniele.Carnino@p54.f21.n334.z2.
- fidonet.org)
-
- - When the visualization on the screen is activated, the menus place
- themselves behind the running animation
- From : Daniele Carnino (E-MAIL: Daniele.Carnino@p54.f21.n334.z2.
- fidonet.org)
-
- - It works GREAT here but I have found a small problem that shows up
- if you put the fli/flc filename in a pair or "".
- From: Bahman Moallem (E-MAIL:bamo@sbbs.se)
-
- - I found a FLC anim that FLX doesn't play properly.
