The Dragon FlicPlayer System is a pair of 32-bit components for Borland Delphi which play back flic animation files. The FlicPlayer32 is a non-visual component which acts as a flic-rendering engine, and the FlicPanel is a visual "wrapper" component. The latest version of the software extends the possibilities of flic-file animation by adding the facilities of sprite-based transparent rendering (including playback direct to the Desktop) and pre-rendering of animations for maximum playback speed.
