    Can the avi be played outside the app? I.e. is there a codec in place?

    Lars Fosdal  I am just using the component in its basic functionality.
    I am not even sure how to check whether it's a component problem or something to do with Windows.
    Do you have any "easy" code I can use? I don't have the JVCL installed here (I think there's code in there for this).

    I am wondering whether the problem is that Win 7 does not define those common AVIs anymore.
    Groan,I hope this isn't the reason...

    Tested with XE6 on Windows 8.1 Pro: Same problem.  Set to active, but not animating.
    Tried doublebuffering, repetitions, timers, etc. - but no effect.

    This doesn't look good AT ALL.

    Doesn't TAnimate have a Play method?

    Andrea Raimondi - Are you doing actual file copying?

    do you have visible set to true as well?

    Visible true. ParentDoubleBuffering doesn't affect it.  If I turn off transparency, I get a pink rectangle, but no sign of an animation.

    XE6: Vcl.ComCtrls.pas
    function TAnimate.GetActualResHandle: THandle; reveals where it tries to load the resources from.  Is there some sort of resource that needs to be included?

    2 min later: Yes, there is!

    RAD Studio\xx.0\lib
    \win32\release or debug and
    \win64\release or debug contains the .res files!

    Add 
    {$R copyfile.res}
    to your project, Andrea Raimondi !

    Each animation has it's own .res file.

    If you do not have the resource files in BDS 2006, it is not unlikely that they can be sourced elsewhere.
