>> I need some help with color cycling in Animator Pro. I'm doing a large projects that has a bunch of color cycling showing flow through a valve. The problem is that the direction and/or speed of the color cycling change each time I put down a path. I've got 31 frames. I have been starting at frame 1 each time. I draw a path with cycle active. I then turn on time and press redo. I know I must be missing something, but my steps are the same each time. Any help would be most appreciated. << no problem. go through these steps exactly for starters: a) start brand new session (1 frame) b) go to Palette menu. select 32 register cluster (around middle of pallete) c) go to |Value|Ramp| and pick ramp d) pick on upper left register black and then upper right register white. this creates a gradient from black to white in the 32-register cluster e) go back to home screen. f) toggle "C" (color cycling) in home panel. g) using DRAW and a sizeable circle brush with OPAQUE ink, draw a sqiggle. the colors will cycle as you draw. h) go to |Flic|Total Frames| and expand flic to 32 frames (same count as number of registers in the cluster to be cycled. i) go to Palette menu again, toggle _off_ FIT, toggle _on_ "T" (time mode), and then go to |Arrange|Cycle| and render. Bingo. same process for a "flow" diagram. -dave
