Director and FantaVs?
I have been playing around with FantaVision. It's great fun. But I would
like to make interactive things with it. That is, I would like to play the
anims it creates from The Director. If a button were clicked, the
FantaVison anim would be played. Ideally, I would like to be able to have
the buttons on the same screen, with the anim above in its own window.
There is a FantaVision player, but it doesn't have ARexx so I don't know
how to invoke it.
Or else: is there any way to convert FantaVision films to ANIM format–a
painless way, that is. I thought of trying to grab each screen, but gee…
Have any ideas?
I remember reading that the program was still being supported by its
authors. Is that true? If so, I would like to find out what if any plans
there may be for an upgrade. . It is, BTW, an amazing program. My 1987
copy runs perfectly under 2.04. I can even load a pic of the wrong
resolution now without a crash. (I am not sure who gets the credit for
that: the original programmers or the folks at Commodore. I'll give credit
to both.)
