My company have just started development of a new game, and we've a few questions regarding the format and usage of FLC files… Does the FLC file contain details of each full frame, or does it just keep track of the changes frame by frame? (I have a feeling that it holds full frame details) Are there any utilities available for changing the FLC to a series of bitmaps? Is there anywhere that we can get hold of the technical specifications for FLC files, such as palette and layout specs? What we hope to do is to go through each frame of the FLC, and log the frame changes to another file. Within our game, we then have complete control over the palette, and can produce fast animations by only updating the pixels that have changed on the screen. Thanks, Steve Dolan Psynet Ltd
