Flx is a .FLI and .FLC animation viewer.
Flx shows the animations inside a Workbench's window or in its own 256 colours
screen.
Flx has been completely written in 68020+ assembler !!!

These are the characteristics of FLX :

- it shows the animation on a Workbench's window
- it shows the animation on a 256 colours screen
- possibility to use the original animation palette (256 colours Wb)
- possibility to use the original Workbench palette with any number of colours
- changing of animation colours basing on Workbench colours
- reduction of the number of colours used by animation, in order to show it in
  WB (for example : from 256 to 16)
- reshaping of the animation in real time to adapt it to the window's dimension
- it shows the number of the frame and the total number of frames in the
  window's title
- possibility to show simultaneously more animations, executing FLX many times
  (memory limited)




Through the menus it is possible :
- OPEN SCREEN    : to open a 256 colours screen for the animation
- PALETTE ANIM   : to use the original animation palette (better with 256
                   colours WB)
- PALETTE WB     : to use the original Workbench palette (with re-mapping,
                   scaling, and so on)
- WINDOW'S SIZE  : resize the window from 10% to 200% of the original size
- FRAME IN TITLE : it shows the number of the frame and the total number of
                   frames in the window's title
- LOAD ANIM      : to load a new animation (available from the 0.9 version)
- ANIM INFO      : information about the animation loaded
- ABOUT          : information about the programme 
- QUIT           : exit from FLX
