Dear ALL: Is there a 3rd party (possibly shareware) tool or program that can play Autodesk .FLC files, where the target file is in the CURRENT dir? Background: I have a .FLC (Autodesk) file containing a short animation sequence that moves the client's and its subsidiaries' logos around the screen before loading my Program. The animation routine was written in VB using a 3rd party (now unsupported) control that had a DLL and an .INI file. The .INI file required the path of the .FLC file and you had to hard code a complete path. That is it would not accept a "MIKEY.FLC" as the target. It had to be "C:\PREP\MIKEY.FLC" in order to be accepted. Need a (normal) method, tool, or program that will play the .FLC like we do the icons in windows (NOTEPAD.EXE MIKEY.TXT) where mikey.txt is in the current directory. The .FLC file will ALWAYS be in the current dir, but I need the client to be able to install in whatever dir locally, or on a net that they choose. Any ideas? Michael D.
