I'm assuming you mean play the movie before your DBPro program goes into exclusive mode... Yeah! Write a launch program in C++, Delphi, [insert language here], play the AVI, then lauch your DBPro game.

Good, bad... I'm the guy with the gun. - Ash in Army Of Darkness(1993).

Load in the animation, play it. Can't be any easier...

Check out the help files man. It's right in there. Just query "animation" at the top in the index...you'll find some examples.

erm, it's like:

Load Animation AnimationNumberHere,AnimationFileNameHere
Play Animation AnimationNumberHere

Wait LengthOfAnimationHere

It's three simple lines of code, come on you can look em up in 5 seconds. You load the animation, you play the animation, you set your program to pause (optional) until the animation is done...
