Hi, I'm newly initiated to Autodesk Animator – fresh out of the box this week. I bought the animator so I could design and run animations from educational software I'm developing in TPW 1.5. How can I show a FLI file from within my application – do you have a DLL to do this, or do I need to access the FLI through AAPlay (How?, CopyRights?) Also, the animation samples which come on the CDROM with Multimedia Explorer are amazing, and I'm fairly sure that most of these are beyond the league of the basic Animator (and my very basic "artistry"=Stick figures) What is the difference between Animator and Animator Pro (I know that resolution can be increased with Pro, but that's the limit of my knowledge), and what is the Upgrade Cost? What does 3DStudio consist of, and what does that run? Thanx, Scott
