NAME

       fli_timer - Global variable for timing FLI playback. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern volatile int fli_timer;

DESCRIPTION

       Global  variable  for  timing  FLI playback. When you open an FLI file, a timer interrupt is installed which increments this variable every
       time a new frame should be displayed. Calling next_fli_frame() decrements it, so you can test it and know that it is time to display a  new
       frame if it is greater than zero. Example:

	  while (next_fli_frame(0) == FLI_OK) {
	     /* Do stuff, like play audio stream
		or check keys to skip animation. */
	     /* Rest some time until next frame... */
	     while (fli_timer <= 0)
		rest(0);
	  }

NAME

       play_memory_fli - Plays a FLI or FLC animation from memory. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int play_memory_fli(const void *fli_data, BITMAP *bmp, int loop, int (*callback)());

DESCRIPTION

       Plays  an Autodesk Animator FLI or FLC animation on the specified BITMAP, reading the data from a copy of the file which is held in memory.
       You can obtain the `fli_data' pointer by allocating a block of memory and reading an FLI file into it, or by importing an FLI into a  grab-
       ber  datafile.  If `loop' is not zero, the player will cycle when it reaches the end of the file, otherwise it will play through the anima-
       tion once and then return.  Read the beginning of chapter "FLIC routines" for a description of the callback parameter.

       Playing animations from memory is obviously faster than cuing them directly from disk, and is particularly useful with short, looped FLI's.
       Animations  can	easily	get  very large, though, so in most cases you will probably be better just using play_fli(). You can think of this
       function as a wrapper on top of open_memory_fli(), next_fli_frame() and close_fli().  Example:

	  int ret = play_memory_fli(anim_data, screen, 0, NULL);
	  if (ret == FLI_ERROR)
	     abort_on_error("Corrupted animation data?");

RETURN VALUE

       The FLI player returns FLI_OK if it reached the end of the file, FLI_ERROR if something went wrong, and the value returned by the  callback
       function if that was what stopped it.
