I don't think so because they are basicly different camara movements and speech in the FL bar view.
The intro movies are in a folder in the Fl/data directory. The can be viewed.

I've poked around a bit, and for those of you wishing to see the cutscenes without playing FL, it cannot be done without a video capture device to capture the signal between your video card and monitor. The cutscenes are played using the game's engine, and thus cannot be viewed externally without capturing the video output to a video capture device, then saving it all to a file...that's gonna' take one heck of a CPU even then. According to the FAQ, they place autosaves right before major events in the game, so you can do this quite easily with some effort. I know nothing of video capture devices, though, so someone else may have to provide that information.

Hope this helps!

If you want to do what ^ is suggesting, I suggest that you use a video out graphic card, then...plug you card up to a tv and video and press record when the cutscenes start......

hmm.......this has given me and idea.

You make less sense than a Turkish hippo, and you can't get Turkish hippo's
