Hi Jeff. I'm wondering if it is possible to write a program that will play a .FLI and place VCR style control buttons on the screen with which to control the .FLI playback. These control buttons will stay on the screen throughout the playing of the .FLI, unlike the AAPLAY.EXE program. Any suggestions?

Roger: This would be a piece of cake with SmackScript. I would just add a bitmap of the VCR controls at the bottom of my flic, set up the mouse areas, then just write a little code to respond to the mouse areas whenever they were clicked on. Backing up would be a little tough, but not unduely so. I'll write a script to do this for you, but SmackScript can only play back Smacker files, so you'll have to play with DINO or SHARK (in this forum), to see if it would do what you want. ->Jeff
