I want to play a series of full screen avi animation clips one after another, but every time It starts a new clip, it keeps the old one in the backround, thus making the new one be located in the corner of the screen instead of clearing the screen of the old one and playing a new avi. I tried alot of differnt things includng using the delete animation command. What am I doing wrong?

Cocacola and Pepsi aren't that differnt. Deal with it.

It isn't a big code or anything, just thought it might work

If the avi movie file output is smaller than the current screen resolution,
it will not be displayed as full screen.

There are two solutions to fixing this.

1: If you know what the size of the avi output resolution is, you could set the display
mode for the DB program to match as long as that resolution is supported by your graphics
card.

set display mode X, Y, Color Depth

2: If the DB screen is larger than the avi, then resize the avi to fit.

play animation animation number, X1, Y1, X2, Y2

Resizing the ouput of the animation, or using a lower screen resolution than the avi
can cause distortion and loss of quality. You'll have to find a happy medium here.

You can also clear the avi after being played by using the CLS command..

Simple Example:

Yes, that is the default screen size for DB programs unless stated otherwise
by set display mode X, Y, color depth.
