Hey Paul, Thanks for responding to my message. That tip from Dave looks like a nightmare to execute. Then again I've done worse. I did an animation sequence in Dr. Halo, (I've not fully recovered from that experience yet), and that was a pain. I did it just like Dave's suggestion except that Dr. Halo was a simple drawing package, (no frame advance, no stencils, nothing), and I used that same 'palette-incrementing' as Dave did – only on one frame, though. Enough babbling, to sum up that would be a waste of time. Anyway, if you guys remember me from a while ago, I mentioned that someone at my job might be developing such a tool with multiple track animations. I just might be able to pull it off – no promises yet – but I think I hit gold with this one. So no more AA tricks, crappy DAS, out-dated DA, AND NO FREAKIN' WINDOWS!!!!! I'm hoping this package will have the power of AA with the simplicity of DA and the 'onion-skinning' of DAS wrapped-up in one. Sounds too good to be true (hell, it probably is) but I'm determined to get this done. Thanks again, Paul, for the input. If you're drawing the way Dave suggested, take my advise and don't waste your time. You'll just burn yourself out and get fustrated with yourself and your computer. Trust me, I know… Thanks – I'll keep everyone posted, Juan An animator…
