Robert, thanks for your reply. I'm looking for a way to play a flic file with Powerpoint because my client only has Powerpoint and their company is firmly entrenched in it. Personally, I'm not too fond of .ppt because its files and capabilities are too limiting. My client must feel so too as they have come to me for jazzing up their opening which I would like to do as a flic file and then use their existing .ppt show. However, I am always interested in new software and therefore would be interested in learning about your product. If you have some lit please send to me at : 249 W. Hudson Clarendon Hills, IL 60514 Thanks! Brad

If you have the correct MCIAPP.DRV file loaded as part of your windows setup then you can play the FLC file with an MCI call. Look for a file called MCIAPP.ZIP in the libraries. It should be really easy to do what you want to do from inside Powerpoint.

Phil, thanks for the info. I can't seem to find MCIAPP.DRV in any of the Autodesk libraries. Do you know where it is? – Brad

It's called MCIAAP.ZIP, that's why you coudn't find it. Yann Bertaud – I.D.L. Autodesk.

I'm having literature and a demo disk sent to you. Please email or call if you have any questions or comments. I think you will find that Presenter has much more functionality than PowerPoint (including creation of animation and use of existing fli/flc and other files). We try to provide ease of use without limiting functionality (there's even a graphics language interface if you need or want it!). Bob
