Nick, I am pretty sure that this has nothing to do with palette problems as I know only too well what they look like. An example – the following code opens two files (which are actually the same file with two names so there should be NO possibility of palette resets!) and then plays them with a cut join. open file1.flc alias ani1 style popup open file2.flc alias ani2 style popup play ani2 from 1 to 1 wait play ani1 from 1 to 17 wait play ani2 wait close ani1 close ani2 This works just fine, but notice that I have had to play a frame of the second file before anything else. What I would rather do is the following – open file1.flc alias ani1 style popup open file2.flc alias ani2 style popup play ani1 from 1 to 17 wait play ani2 wait close ani1 close ani2 Running this MCI script produces a nasty flash to blank white before the second file plays. What should I do differently? ….Ian
