#Weirdness on FLIC Write
2 messages in this thread
I'm putting together a flic writer from the ubiquituous DDJ article.
I have already put together several flic readers, so the read side is
great. All of my readers read my written flic perfectly, but when I
try to load my flic in Animator Pro, I get the error "Can't load flic
from TEST.FLC File not found. (File name misspelled?)". This is
after Animator thinks for a second – it seemed like it reads the
entire file, and can't find some important chunk. I am not putting
a PrefixHeader chunk in, because I don't have a default one, is it
required? If so, what should I put in there?
Jeff,

It's sounding like you need to order the Autodesk "Animation Support
Libraries, FlicLib Reference". This is a protected mode library of
functions for manipulating flic files. It supports functions for flic
creation and playback, video device management, clock support and
graphics data management. The library contains 60 public functions
designed to be called directly from your code.
This can be ordered from Chris Allis at Autodesk. Contact him through
the internet xris@autodesk.com. Carbon copy the letter to me so that
I can track your order with you.
