I suggest you get the Autodesk FLI viewer for Windows. It has an AAPLAY.DLL
or some similar name that you can use in your own programs to play FLI's. It
also interfaces to the MCI extension of windows, and thus playable with the
multimedia player that comes with windows.

It's available free of charge from AUtodesk. Just call 'em.
