Thanks for the response. I knew I'd seen something somewhere … now, to find one of them. Do you have any thoughts on where Animator Pro fits, in terms of overall capabilities, in the company of the Macromind Action!/Directortypes of programs — i.e., how it is generally considered in the competitive marketplace for the level of animation it produces? I'm going to be getting 3D Studio, as well, I believe. But what I'm ultimately after is something that will allow me/my company to produce animations that can be played back on a wide variety of platforms (PCs, Macs, UNIX workstations, etc.). So far, I've discovered a couple of quite capable Xwindowsbased players for .FLI/.FLC and other formats that will allow my stuff to run on any Xserver-equipped Mac or PC, as well as most UNIX machines. But are there any "native" players for the Mac? I haven't been able to find a whole lot of people who do a lot with Animator Pro at the level I've been pushing it; most seem to move on to 3D Studio or go to the Mac or some UNIX-based application. I may well head that direction myself; but there's actually quite a bit one can do with AAP once one deciphers the interface and the operations become a bit more reflex. Appreciate any feedback. – . &:-)
