Hi All: I can't quite seem to get Deluxe Paint IV to do color cycle animation. I can get DP III to work just fine with color cycle animation. Also, I can get DP IV to do it if I load the tutorials from the disks. But, If I load the default settings I can't make it go. When I load the default settings, I go into color range, click to select color range 2, move the little color icons up on the range bar to get a nice spread, then click OK. Then I go to the fill requester. It shows color range 2 and when I click on something other than solid (say I click on line), it shows a nice color spread in the requester. If I then draw a filled circle, it shows up with the same nice color spread I originally got in the range requester. Then when I hit the tab key to start the cycle…nothing happens. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I can't quite figure out what. The DPaint IV manual leaves a lot to be desired in this area. I keep thinking I'm not getting my range selection hooked up to the cycle function somehow. As I noted, if I use the cycle animations loaded from the tutorial disks, I can do cycle animations just fine by creating new pictures using that palette…..but I don't like that palette. Any ideas ? – via Whap!…….from Chicago
