Microsoft Office uses Microsoft Agent (http://www.microsoft.com/msagent) for
its actors.

If you want to use MSAgent, then you will have to export the frames to
individual BMP files and then composite them manually into an actor using
Microsoft's Agent Character Editor (ACE), which is accessible from the above
site as well.

Microsoft Agent is an ActiveX control. It can be imported and used in
Delphi like any other ActiveX control. There are plenty of third-party
tutorials and components available online for using MSAgent in Delphi.

Hi
I want make a thing such as office 2003 actor, it must be walk on screen, do
animate and more...
I have all of my frames (were rendered by 3DSMax)
How can i play them on screen, without latency or border ... and maybe with
shadow.
Maybe anyone know a good library to i do that?
Thanks for your attention

Correct. That is a limitation of the MSAgent technology in general, not the
editor specifically.

You will have to find another third-party technology that does what you
need. Perhaps LivingActor would suit your needs better:

What's wrong with using engines that already exist?

On Windows 2000 and later, use a normal window with the WS_EX_LAYERED style
applied to it. That way, the OS handles all of the transparency for you.

Then you are not managing the window correctly.
