We have an FLI build with TOPAZ, we can play these FLI without any problem with GRASP under DOS but it is impossible to play it using AAPLAY is there known incompatibility between TOPAZ fli / AAPLAY ? Thanks for any suggestion.

I am not familiar with TOPAZ fli files, but AAPLAY is the most basic and robust FLI player out there. If your FLI files won't play in AAPLAY, it sounds like TOPAZ is not create FLI files that conform to the FLI standard. -Brian

Thank you Brian, I made a mispelling, in fact it is TOPAS from AT&T, we ave try other FLI coming from TOPAS, some are working, some not, it seems to depend on the fli size, again all those fli are playing properly on GRASP. Any other suggestion ? Olivier

<<Any other suggestion ?>> Sorry, no. Have you talked to the people from Topas? Is this something that has been reported before? You could have Topas generate a series of TGA or GIF files as its output, and then compile them in Animator Pro or 3D Studio to make a FLC file. Or use something like Daves Targa Animator here on the forum to make the FLC file. -Brian
