Could anyone please help me with the following queries? 1) Is it possible to play Animator (.FLI) files in an embedded window in a Windows Help file? 2) If so, how easy is it to write the appropriate code? (I'm not an experienced programmer – only Visual Basic and simple macros as used in creating Help files) I presume you have to register a routine in the AAPLAY.DLL but how do you do this? And how do you set up the embedded window? 3) Is there any diocumentation available which would explain the procedure in a relatively straightforward manner? Many thanks to anyone who can help.
