[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Disney Animation Problems.

DEB110@psuvm.psu.edu (Doug Bischoff) (01/26/91)

     I've been having a couple of problems since I just received Disney's
Animation Studio the other day.  It seems that everything works fine on my
A3000, but whenever I try to run the "sound demo" program it tells me that
IT can't find the sound library or something like that.
     There doesn't seem to be any sound library on any of the distribution
disks!
     Also, whenever I run it in HiRes Interlace mode, after I click on any of
the toolbox icons, the entire menu and toolbox gets messed up with random (but
consistent!) pixels making them illegible.  Any ideas?

   I have both of these exact same problems.  I was wondering if the sound
capabilities make use of a PD library, but the manual says not a word about
it.  Please send any ideas my way, too.  Thanks.

I too have the same problems.  I think the sound problem has something to 
do with sonix.  Because the message I see is unable to open Sonix driver.

  The sound problem is known to the makers, and a fully compatible
2.0 version will be released "within a week after the roms are
burned".  This is a quote from Reichart Von Wolfshield, the designer
of DAS.

That's odd, I don't have that problem, but I think it was mentioned
as being there, and then fixed with the later version of the OS.
Are you using 2.02?

   I am running 2.02, and I still have the problem.  The problem I see affects
the drawing on the screen as well as the toolbox icons.  By the way, in the
pencil test module, you can clear the screen of this problem by dragging the
screen (even a one pixel vertical shift of the screen works).  The problem
immediately returns when you go to the next frame, however, so you have
to keep doing the screen drag trick if you want to make an animation in 
hires interlace.  Annoying, to say the least!
