DESCRIPTION

16       Global variable for timing FLI playback. When you open an FLI  file,  a
17       timer  interrupt is installed which increments this variable every time
18       a new frame should be displayed.  Calling  next_fli_frame()  decrements
19       it,  so you can test it and know that it is time to display a new frame
20       if it is greater than zero. Example:
21
22          while (next_fli_frame(0) == FLI_OK) {
23             /* Do stuff, like play audio stream
24                or check keys to skip animation. */
25             /* Rest some time until next frame... */
26             while (fli_timer <= 0)
27                rest(0);
28          }
