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

       next_fli_frame - Reads the next frame of the current animation file. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int next_fli_frame(int loop);

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  the next frame of the current animation file. If `loop' is not zero, the player will cycle when it reaches the end of the file, oth-
       erwise it will return FLI_EOF. The frame is read into the global variables fli_bitmap and fli_palette. 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... */
	  }

RETURN VALUE

       Returns FLI_OK on success, FLI_ERROR or FLI_NOT_OPEN on error, and FLI_EOF on reaching the end of the file.
