I downloaded the fli player from "Official" euphoria page, and the ONLY fli I've been able to get it to play was the one that came with it. Fli's and flc's are my normal animation format and I am knee deep in them. I tried 12 fli's with the RUN-ME.EX and EVERY STINKING ONE OF THEM CRASHED WITH AN ERROR. All of my other fli players work fine with these files. Also the one that came with it played WAY slow. You could see it drawing the images top to bottom on my dx2-66. I create most of my flics with 3D Studio, any fli player MUST support files created with AUTODESK PRODUCTS. I just changed the filename in run-me.ex, it played the first frame or two then boom. Sometimes I got a unknown chunk size or something, and sometimes it just blows up with the "an error was detected during the execution of your program..." message. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't have anything to make .FLI's with, but downloaded several from someone named "Brian"'s homepage off of a Yahoo search of "FLI". I have only tried one so far, but it worked. >Also the one that came with it played WAY slow. You could see it drawing >the images top to bottom on my dx2-66. Yes, it is fairly slow on my computer also, a dx2-66. But, he does say in the source code he is working to make it faster. How's oidzone going? Monty

I have the same problem Michael, but I made a fli I created in 3dstudio r4 work . I guess it has something to be woth the color palette and the image resolution, maybe it suppor ts only 320x200 and 256 (or less) colors. I really dont't have time by now to test this ideas. About speed.. . hmmm... big trouble, there is much to do... By the way... i also have a dx2 66mhz. Any way... it's good to have "some" fli player... ;)

He'd probably appreciate any feedback about files that don't work, along with the message that was produced. I also found a .FLI that didn't work. In play-fli.e he has comments indicating that this is just an experimental release. I'm sure it can be speeded up -- at least 10-20%, maybe more. Actually, it works great on my Pentium-150. I like VENUS.FLI from the "Official" Euphoria page better than his FACE.FLI. Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software

What I wanna play is one of the JetFighter III anims we did for Mission Studios... Those are WAY cool. =) The Title sequence is a little too big to play in ram though, its around 35 megs. There are images from some of that stuff on our regular home page http://exo.com/~lgp Michael Packard In the OidZone
