I am experiencing difficulties when playing more than one FLC file as a sequence under Windows MCI. At the cut point between the files there is a disturbing gap after the first file ends and before the second begins where the screen flashes to white. The only way of overcoming this that I have found using MCI is to actually pre-play a frame of the second file before going back to play the first one. (Just preloading is not enough). After this the cut to the second file is smooth with not visible gap. Is there a way of overcoming this problem of messy file joins without having to pre-play files? If MCI is not the answer then what other tool can be used from WIndows? (Visual Basic animation VBX?) …Ian
