You'll need Animator Pro for the first three questions. To fit an animation in another product, you'll have to be a programmer and create a product that can display flics. The flic library info is in FLCSPC.ZIP in, I believe, DL9. You can crop an entire animation by turning on the [T] button and then using Crop in the Effects submenu of the Flic menu. If you want to shrink the entire flic by 50%, turn on the [T] button and use Shrink X2 in the Effects menu. If you want to reduce a flic by some other percentage, use the Optics panel. Set the Element to Flic, be sure and turn on the Still option in the Movement menu (so each frame is reduced equally with no tweening), and then use the Size button and sliders in the Optics panel to set your scale. – Jack (P.S. Although you can reduce the size of the flic images in Animator, using the methods I've just described, the flic file itself will still be 320×200. Only Autodesk Animator (or 3D Studio) can create flics of varying resolutions.)
