- 7.0 Important Notes
- 7.1 Animation files
-
- The .fli files are animation files which are generated in Autodesk Animator
- software. In addition these animation files can be found on many BBS's.
-
- The .flc files are animation files which are generated in Autodesk Animator Pro
- software. This software is fairly new but these files should start appearing
- on BBS's.
-
- 7.2. Use of Autodesk's Animation Player for Windows
-
- ScreenShow makes use of Autodesk's animation player for Windows DLL to display
- all animations. In addition this DLL is used to show the dialog boxes for
- animation file selection and the script editing dialog box.
-
- 7.3. Animation speed and Hard Disk Cache
-
- The Autodesk animation player supports reading the entire animation file
- into memory before starting to play the animation. ScreenShow does not
- use this option by default, we have found that the best preformance is
- achieved by letting your hard disk cache software cache the animation.
- So for most users this default should give the best results. However,
- for the users who want to use the memory load option create a script
- file for the animation file specify the memory load option.
-
- 7.4. Animation Display Defaults
-
- When using single animation files in order to change some of the defaults
- assumed by ScreenShow create a script file for this animation. All defaults
- can be overwritten in a script file.
-
- 7.5. Location of aaplay.dll and aavga.dll
-
- These files can be located in the same directory as ScreenShow. However,
- if you have other Windows software which use these DLL they can be placed
- in the windows\system\ directory.
-
- 7.6. SOUND!!
-
- The Autodesk animation player supports sound in Windows with multimedia
- extensions and the proper sound hardware. This has not been tested,
- I would like to know if it works properly within ScreenShow.
