#DOCS ON AAPLAY.DLL??
8 messages in this thread
We are seeking documentation on aaplay.dll.
Specifically, the commands and parameters for calling aaplay.dll from a
windownws aws application like VB or IconAuthor.
Please advise.
Thank you.

"We are seeking documentation on aaplay.dll."
You should get the "ASL" – Animation Support Libraries document from Autodesk.
Call 800/879-4322 or 415/507-5000×6901. It's around $30.
The documentation is not perfect, alas, and could benefit from more example
code, but it is the best documentation we have.
Thanx Nik….
Actually, what might be more helpful today is to know who has taken over Chris
Allis' role.
I'm a registered multimedia developer…and would like to contact that group
for some support before the end of the working day….
As I mentioned earlier…this is urgent from our viewpoint….
Could you refer me to who handles the Registered Multimedia Developers program
now….a phone number or name will do it….
Thanx much

Thanx to all who replied…..
FYI for anyone seeking the same info…..
There is a file called vbplay.txt in the libraries that fully details the use
of aaplay.dll by Visual Basic….
Thank you autodesk…it's a great document.

Nik,
It dawns on me that everyone is probably at the last day of the developers
conference….
If you have any ideas on how I could find out the commands within aaplay.dll I
would appreciate the leads….
I suppose that they are "load" "play" "pause" "unload" etc….but need firm
docs to save time….
all advice appreciated GREATLY….

Firm AAPLAY docs? Hmmm. I see this in a readme.doc, and I'll send you a file
called AAPLAY.H which has some definitions which might be helpful.

The following feature had been added to the AAPLAY.DLL:
o The aaGetParm function has the new parameter value AA_PALETTE that
returns a windows HPALETTE value. It is defined to be:
#define AA_PALETTE 42
Stephen,
There are DOCs for the AAPLAY.DLL, but not necessarily in electronic format.
Here are the details on the ASL developers kit, and you don't need to go
through Mark to get it….
It includes a full C and VB programmers reference for the .DLL.

What you need is the Animation Support Libraries, without a doubt! This
developers kit includes C and Visual Basic Programmers reference manuals for
the Windows Player, Fliclib and File Format manuals, Code examples and other
support files, POCO and POE reference manuals, and more. You can order this kit
directly from Autodesk by calling 800-964-6432. The kit costs about $25.
