The MagiPlay FLI file player
MagiPlay is a FLI player that allows you to display FLI (flic)
animation files. You can freely distribute MAGIPLAY.EXE and the
MAGIPLAY.DOC file to your friends and associates and upload the files
to electronic bulletin boards. The only requirement is that both
MAGIPLAY.EXE and MAGIPLAY.DOC be together and unmodified.
The command to execute MagiPlay is :
magiplay file /r=<loops> /s=<speed> /n /x /e /d /q /?
Where 'file' is the FLI file you wish to display, <loops> is the number
of times the animation is played, and <speed> is the playback speed.
The /x option specifies the use of Extended memory, /e specifies the use
of Expanded memory and /d specifies disk-based playback (the slowest).
The /n option will display a message during file loading telling the
user which memory is used for playback. If the file contains a
soundtrack, the /q option will play the flic without sound. The /?
option will display a help screen.
By default, the player uses it's memory scan feature. That is, it
will first try to fit the flic into Conventional memory, if this is
not possible it will scan for available Extended memory, if Extended
memory is not available it will scan for Expanded memory, and finally,
if all else fails it will use disk-based playback. The memory
specifiers are not necessary unless you want to force MagiPlay to use
a specific memory type. The default memory scan feature should
provide the best available playback method.
By default the animation will play continuously. A playback speed
of zero is the fastest, 999 is the slowest. The default playback
speed is the speed assigned when the animation was created.
MagiPlay supports embedded sound frames in FLI files. Some FLI
players and editors will not play FLI animations containing sound
frames.
To add sound frames to your FLI animations, KAVIK Software offers
AniMagician, a FLI editor which supports the sound frame FLI format.
With AniMagician you can create spectacular 256-color animations,
complete with an attention-getting soundtrack.
You can order AniMagician from KAVIK Software by sending $35.00 US to :
KAVIK Software
PO Box 261
Huntsville, Alabama 35804
Please include your name and address with your order.
Once the animation is playing the following keys are active :
Escape : Exit player
Space-Bar : Toggle pause on/off
Up Arrow : Increase playback speed
Down Arrow : Decrease playback speed
If the animation contains sound frames, you may have to adjust the
animation playback speed to synchronize the soundtrack with the
animation.
Make sure "Num-Lock" is off if using the arrow keys on the numeric
keypad.
