[DUG] TAnimtate

[Robert martin]

Hi Alister

I will watch the demo if I need to but Chua, Chee Wee from codegear has 
pointed out the following...

    * If you use any of the CommonAVI's provided by the TAnimate component in Windows Vista, you must also add the component TShellResources from the Win32 tab of the component palette to your project. Windows Vista no longer contains backwards compatible shell animations, and the TShellResources component adds the following replacement animation resources to your executable:
          o FindFolder.res
          o FindFile.res
          o FindComputer.res
          o CopyFiles.res
          o CopyFile.res
          o RecycleFile.res
          o EmptyRecycle.res
          o DeleteFile.res


This almost works for me.  The animations show but refuse to play.  I am hoping 'the man' from codegear will provide the answer :)
