NAME
       play_fli - Plays a FLI or FLC animation from disk. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       int play_fli(const char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, int loop, int (*callback)());

DESCRIPTION
       Plays  an  Autodesk  Animator FLI or FLC animation file on the specified BITMAP, reading the data from disk as it is required. If `loop' is
       not zero, the player will cycle when it reaches the end of the file, otherwise it will play through the animation  once	and  then  return.
       Read the beginning of chapter "FLIC routines" for a description of the callback parameter.  Example:

	  /* Let users skip looped animations. */
	  int check_escape_key(void)
	  {
	     if (key[KEY_ESC])
		return 1;
	     else
		return 0;
	  }
	  ...
	     int ret = play_fli("animlogo.fli", screen, 1,
				 check_escape_key);
	     if (ret == FLI_ERROR)
		abort_on_error("Error playing intro!");

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.
