#Interactive FLI player
6 messages in this thread
I'm looking for a full-screen FLI player that will allow me to have VCR style
contre controls appear on the screen during the FII playback. These controls
should be mouseable. Is there such a player? Is it even possible for this type
of player to exist? Thanks for any help.
Roger:
That's exactly what I'm doing with NIC. To program the interactivity or so
called "authoring" I have developed a visual authoring tool. This allows you to
define hotspots (VCR controls, etc.) and assign flics or events to each
hotspot.
At this time these are proprietary tools and are not commercialy available.
However, I will consider licensing them to other developers on a case-by-case
basis as long as there is no direct conflict of interest in publishing titles.
Send me information about your project and what you are trying to do.

I have published a collection of animations for Foot Specialists which
is called DR ANIMATOR. At present time, it is a menu-driven
collection of FLI files depicting various types of Foot surgeries to
be used in patient education. It is keyboard controled at present for
PAUSING and STOPPING playback. (I am using the authoring program
INSTANT REPLAY). I want to change the FLI interactivity from keyboard
to mouse (or even touch screen). Pleas give me more information about
your program and it's availability. You may either post a message for
me here or may reach me by voice phone most days at 216-233-5615.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Roger.

I have a flic compressor, a real-time player and an authoring tool. If
your application can tolerate a little bit of visual loss, the
compressed flics will be a lot more efficient than uncompressed
flics. Check out NEWAGE.ZIP in the utilities library. I think these
tools will be perfent for your application. Sincerely, Reza D. New

Hi Roger
Yes !! There is a little program from Krister Jansson AutoDESK Sweden, it's
called "Interact" and will do what you are asking for – and more.
If you can't find it at any adesk forum, give me a yell.

I did download that program but am having trouble getting it to PAUSE
the FLI during playback and then continue. It is a neat little
program and as I say, I had no trouble creating a STOP button to
display on the screen during playback and have it work fine but I
can't figure-out how to get a PAUSE button to work. Any suggestions?
