In a word...no

I'd certainly like to do the same thing but FPSC can't handle animated textures and converting .avi into .tga will produce a new image for each frame so you'll end up with about 100 .tga files.

Sorry...maybe it could be in V2

you could make a cube with each side textured wit a differnt frame, then in the TV animation, you could flip the cube around

that would only be six frames worth and normal video runs at 24fps, it would play the same animation 4 times a second

And in scripts, an animation refers to a charcter animation, with bones and weight influences. This is a 2D thing and would only work by textures...except it doesn't work

You could use a decal to limited effect. Think WW2 fireplace + small fire decal, only what you need is a hollow TV model with a screen decal inside it. The limits are you'll only have 16 frames and they'll play at a fixed (and fairly rapid) pace.

There might be some mileage in the animated model idea though... I'll have to give it a try. I've been looking at ways to do display screens, using particleIllusion SE to create the animation frames, but they run way too fast as decals. If I put half a dozen of them on one wall the player would probably have a seizure looking at them
