Jan, This is the proper place to ask questions. Post any questions of this nature in section 6 – Software Dev. Kits. <<(palette shifts, frame rate issues, among others)>> Problems with palette shifts and flashes are usually the resuly of the animation palette itself. .FLC file palettes are not aware of Windows, so special considerations have to be made. Instead of using a palette of 256 color, use a palette of 236 colors, leaving the first ten and last ten palette positions unused within the animation. These are the positions that Windows try's to control. Also, using the same palette for all your animations (and a common palette for every frame within the animation) helps reduce flashes as well. As far as frame rates, .FLC files do have a standard frame rate. There is a speed setting that is associated with the .FLC file, but that same setting will play at different speeds on different computers. It is not a specific frames per second like an AVI file is. -Brian
