Brian, is there a white sheet or whatever of the AAPLAY.DLL, so I could call it from Toolbook? Thanks, John

There is no documentation on line. -Brian Animation Support Libraries: 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. "Animation Support Libraries R2.0 SAP# 03302-013303-9000".

Brian, Thanks for that number on AAPLAY.DLL – Do you know if this .DLL is used by every authoring tool (Toolbook, Director for Windows, IconAuthor, Ultimedia Builder/2 etc..) because I'm putting together a presentation involving a lot of .FLC animations, and I'd like to use the platform which you think has the best link to the AAPLAY.DLL, as far as GDI memory, reliability etc. Also, Do you know if there's a Autodesk Animation driver in 32 bits for Windows NT or OS/2? Also, I remeber reading about a specific board that had hardware-accelerated .FLC playback – a BitBLT board or something. Do you know anything about this? Thanks again, JOhn

<< I'd like to use the platform which you think has the best link to the AAPLAY.DLL, as far as GDI memory, reliability etc.>> Do you mean hardware? Sorry, I am not allowed to make hardware recommendations. It is a Windows program, I would just get set up for the best Windows performance. << Also, Do you know if there's a Autodesk Animation driver in 32 bits for Windows NT or OS/2? >> There is not. <, Also, I remeber reading about a specific board that had hardware-accelerated .FLC playback – a BitBLT board or something.
