Hi. To publicize my BBS, I'd like to distribute an executable animation. The thing is, how do I make an animation self-executing? Does it require nifty programming, cause if it does, I think I'm in trouble. Anyways, if you have any idea about how to accomplish such a feit ( because it has been done…), please contact me. Thanks a lot!

Philippe, Dave Mason has put out a shareware utility, which I believe is called BUILDSV – you might try looking in the libs here, in the animation forum or in graphdev. I have used it and it works pretty good, although 640×480 flics with a lot of the screen changing seem to exhibit tearing on most machines. Dennis

Philippe, Look in your local BB's. You should find a file named fliexe.zip or something like that. This program converts your Fli's to self running files. If you're unable to find this file leave me a message, I'll email it to you. Alvaro
