#Can POCO run *.scr files
3 messages in this thread
Dear Sirs,
Can POCO call up *.scr files created for aniplayer? I have a presentation at a
trade show in which we we read a bar code off a product and start a animation
based on the particular product. The programer that helped write the code is
calling up *.flc files. This a BIG problem. Some of my FLC files are to big to
fit into one. I need to have the presentations done by this Saturday to set up
on Sunday. Of course we never find these things out until Friday Night at 6 PM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Were desperate!!
Thanks in advance.
I'm not with autodesk – just a poco head trying to help… but I think you're
hose'd. {sorry to be so blunt – but better to be honest than lead you on.} I do
not think Poco has a simple comand to play a .scr (I just lookd again in manual
)
You could probably build such a beast from scratch to emulate .scr play
functions… but would be quite a project even in limited way.
I'm not sure if there isn't a better way.
might be as simple as some .bat files to run the player
probably wouldn't be elegant – but hey who cares?
what is the bar code device/software capable of doing?
I'm assuming it can do some sort of DOS thing.
(one solution is to have person behind curtain with key board! – Ok it's not
very honest, but there is presidence.)
hope you get thru it ok

Tim,
David is right. I don't think there is a function to play script files. You
could write one yourself, but it would probably be a hassle, and not possible
by your deadline.
Having the POCO routing call a batch file which shells out and runs the player
and a script file is an un-elegant, but useful suggestion. It should work.
