ABSTRACT:
A computer animation display system and process for smoothly displaying information containing text and moving picture images is disclosed in which animations are played back smoothly by localizing the area of moving picture display so as to reduce the memory space required on a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) and allow a greater number of animation frames to be stored on a single CD-ROM. The computer animation display process plays animations on a background bitmap relative to arbitrary screen elements called anchors. The computer animation display process further provides dynamic positioning of animation during playback to maintain alignment between the animation and its corresponding anchor should the anchor's position change. The computer animation display process also provides for dynamic display of independent, separately stored text during animation playback. Modification of the text alone, without the need to modify the underlying animated graphics, is also provided.
