You can make animations from converted .fli frames.  Take it from me,
I've converted maybe 20 .fli files this way.  You have to do the following
to make sure you can make a paintworks animation:

1) Have a large capacity storage device handy.. if you're converting .fli
files that take up more than 40 frames.

2) Use FliAway on the SuperConvert package to extract frames to your large
capacity storage device.

3) Enter SuperConvert and select IBM & Compatibles as the computer to
convert files from and ".AA files from FliAway" as your convert option.

4) select either C0,2 Apple Preferred or C1 uncompressed as your
destination file.

5) after all the frames have been converted (through painstakingly
converting each frame) enter either Paintworks Plus (RECOMMENDED),
Platinum Paint, or Dreamgrafix.

6) Compress the frames.  Make sure each frame is numbered .000,.001, etc
for Dreamgrafix or Paintworks Plus (can be .00,.01, etc too for PW Plus or
Gold)  
 
7) There ya go... a fli file to watch!!! if u have any questions or would
like to see some of the fli files I have already converted to paintworks
format, drop me a line at either address listed below.
