Mike–
I read your note of March 5 to Cydney re: playing .FLC files on VB in Windows,
and hope you may have a thought or 2 about my problem:
I'm developing a program in VB that plays .FLC files against a .BMP background,
using the Autodesk .VBX and .DLL files. My program is designed to run in 256
colors. Unfortunately, this leads to distortion of the screen colors ("palatte
flashing") when the .FLC plays, even tho the .FLC and the .BMP use the same
palatte. Brian, from Autodesk and on this forum, opines that this is a known
problem and we're all stuck with it, due to the way .FLC files interface with
the system palatte in Windows. My problem goes away if I step up to 64K colors,
but for this application I need to write it for just 256.
Can you help me out here? Have any ideas?
Thanks,
–Bill
