>>This is a VB app? So, are you using a Picture control with the multicolored bitmap? If so, I can run some tests here under similar circumstances. << Great! This is a VB app with a multicolored bitmap background and a .flc running in the Autodesk VBplay.vbx box on top of the bitmap. The .flc and the bitmap use the same palette, about 225 colors, leaving the top 10 and bottom 10 slots open, and using a 256 color video driver. The bitmap could be in a picture box, image box, or a form. It seems that if either the .flc or the .bmp uses only the Windows system colors (of which I think there are 20 when in 256 color mode), then everything is OK. Problems arise when both the .flc anf the .bmp use a more colorful palette. –Bill
