Hi Brian, Many thanks for your very prompt reply – I'll pass the information on to the guy who is doing all the Autodesk graphics work for me on this particular project. However, I am almost certain that he has done all the things that you suggest – i.e. 236 colors with first and last ten left for windows – making sure that all flcs and bmps use the same palette – and still we get the colour flash. The only way we have found of overcoming the problem is reducing the bmp background to a 16 colour picture. But, for good design reasons, that is not what we want to do. The problem seems to be that each time the flic file is played it "reorganises" the palette – this is presumably what you mean by the reinitialisation of the palette. As this is hard coded it would seem that we might have to seek an alternative solution such as converting the flic files to avi. Any help would be appreciated – we have a gun at our heads on the schedule on this one <g>. Best wishes, Ted P.
