Play is available in the libraries here. I don't know which but it is. It's probably play07.zip or similar. Animator, Animator Pro also have animation players included with them but aren't necessarily better than Trilobyte's which has mouse support, Autodesk's don't. There are lot's of other software which support the .fli and .flc file types now but I suggest you start with Play since it's the cheapest, and you can try it now.

Martin, where did you get the idea that the Autodesk player programs don't have mouse support? I haven't tried Trilobyte's player, but I believe their main advantage is that it doesn't require all the various support (resource) files that the AniPro player needs. – J

I'm sorry, I meant for the interactive scripting you cannot specify mouse co-ordinates for input. Example: I write a script where the user clicks on icons to play animations of whatever the icon depicts. Does the scripting in anipro support that?
