Flc/Fli -
For viewing animations on your own machine, you must first download and install the fli/flc player (~150k) from Autodesk or the Rich Signell website (or elsewhere). Animations can be selected most easily from within the player if fli/flc files are installed in the same directory. There are many other animations that use this format, so the player is quite useful. Also now available as a plugin for browsers.
