I need some help creating an ASCII script for Animator Pro. I want to create a script that will play my flic along with a sound file. I tried using Aaplay in Windows, but the flic is quite large and doesn't play smoothly. I'm using an Autodesk Explorer Manual as a reference on how to create the script. I'm using Animator Pro Ver. 1.3 which I received bundled with my Fast Movie Machine Card. The bundled version does not come with a manual, so that's why I am stuck. I have a 486 PC with 20 megs of RAM and a Sound Blaster Pro sound card. My ASC script looks like this: C:\animpro\anipro\play.flc -N"c:\sound\wave\play.voc" c:\sbpro\vedit2\vplay -M -F When I run the script, it plays the flic without loading it in memory, and then I get an error saying 'error displaying -n"c:\sbpro\vedit2\vplay.exe" Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

" but the flic is quite large and doesn't play smoothly." It may end up that you'll have to break the flic into smaller segments. There is a file (MOVIE.ZIP) which plays back animations with sound that can be triggered at specific frames. This might help if you can't synchronize the sound successfully over the smaller animations.
