#FLC Files-How To Play

Dear ALL: Is there a 3rd party (possibly shareware) tool or program that can play Autodesk .FLC files, where the target file is in the CURRENT dir? Background: I have a .FLC (Autodesk) file containing a short animation sequence that moves the client's and its subsidiaries' logos around the screen before loading my Program. The animation routine was written in VB using a 3rd party (now unsupported) control that had a DLL and an .INI file. The .INI file required the path of the .FLC file and you had to hard code a complete path. That is it would not accept a "MIKEY.FLC" as the target. It had to be "C:\PREP\MIKEY.FLC" in order to be accepted. Need a (normal) method, tool, or program that will play the .FLC like we do the icons in windows (NOTEPAD.EXE MIKEY.TXT) where mikey.txt is in the current directory. The .FLC file will ALWAYS be in the current dir, but I need the client to be able to install in whatever dir locally, or on a net that they choose. Any ideas? Michael D.

Michael, Have you checked out Adesk's forum – GO ASOFT. I'm not 100% sure but you might be able to find something over there. Richard

Oh yes, I forgot..Try John Bridges in section 3 of GRVENA too. John Bridges [75300,2137]…He can give you some real worthwhile advice. He's the author of GRASPLAY which plays .flc, .fli files. Bruce Herzog Forum Staff NY 05-Jan-95 at 6:11p EST

Dr. Bruce, Funny you have the background you do. I met up with a fellow, here in West Hartford, who has a multimedia presentation company, does multimedia training programs for corps, and is an MD also. What a coincidence. Mine is a little unusual also. I am a Connecticut CPA doing nothing but computer development and training. Started as a real CPA in public and corporate. How did you get into computers from medicine or do you do medicine and use the machine as your tool, and are really into it? Michael – West Hartford, CT – using OZWin 1.17

Hi Mike.. I am a practicing Neuro-Radiologist in NY…I use the computer for relaxation. I will do what you are now doing, in Florida next year this time or there-about. I am about ready to retire …Do computing for real and Medicine on the side..<g> Bruce
