>>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. Steve Peer
