Create a text file with an .RC extension. Do *not* name this file the
same as any form, or with the same name as your project. The file should
contain:

<resourcename> AVI <filename>

For example, in MyRes.rc:

MYAVI AVI C:\MyApp\MyAVI.avi

In Delphi 6 or 7, use the Project Manager (View|Project Manager) and add
this .RC file to your project. In D5 or earlier, you'll need to compile
it yourself any time the .RC changes, using BRCC32.EXE from your
$(Delphi)\Bin folder.

BRCC32 MyRes.rc

Add the following to the main form's source, right after the existing
{$R *.RES}:

{$R MyRes.res}

At runtime, set TAnimate's ResName property to the name of your
resource:

Animate1.ResName := 'MYAVI';
