>>I am sorry, but I am not allowed to talk about future releases of Autodesk
software or developers kits.
Brian:
At the very least, I appreciate your reply to my questions. However, I have
been a reseller/user of Autodesk products for many years now, and have seen the
same patterns repeated over and over again. These patterns include:
1) New releases of products that have not been fully beta-tested. (i.e.
problems with the new Animator Studio)
2) A reluctance to admit that there are problems with existing software, such
as VBPLAY.VBX
I want to stress that I believe that Autodesk is a superb organization,
demonstrating true innovation in their product line. It is VITAL for Autodesk
not to miss the opportunity to establish the FLI/FLC format as a widely
accepted standard for multimedia developers. The format offers much for
computer-generated animations that Video for Windows and QuickTime do not. This
will NOT happen if many systems cannot use AAPLAY.DLL or VBPLAY.VBX because of
GPF's.
I wish you, and your company all the best in the months to come.
