Subject: [DUG]: AVI in Resource Files
> Hi all,
>
> I have used some of the common AVI files in the Animate component in a
> couple of my apps... I have also seen that Microsoft decided to change
> some of these common AVIs with the release of Windows 2000... So now my
> app's little animated icons look a bit out of place... (i.e. stupid)
>
> I decided to construct a new component that uses a thread to display
> the
> images from an image list. However, for some reason this has not
> worked,
> even with the thread priority set to TimeCritical, whenever my app
> enters a loop for example, my animations stop whereas the TAnimate
> component's AVI file didn't. (Also looked on the web for other thread
> driven animation control and the only (thread driven) one I found does
> the same...)
>
> So, back to the TAnimate and the AVI...
>
> How do I compile an AVI file into the exe. I see that the TAnimate
> component allows me to load the AVI from a resource... So I gather I
> need a resource editor, which Delphi doesn't seem to supply... (I had a
> look at the very (very very) old Resource Workshop that came with one
> or
> other version of Delphi, but I can't see how to add an AVI file in
> there
> either...
>
> Any info or pointers to good Resource editors (or whatever else I need)
> would be appreciated.
