Hi B,
BR>.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.
GH> We have clients using toolbook which we have showed this to. ie How to
reduce the 256 -> 236 (Image Alchemy) and injected the reserved correct colors
and all flicks HAVE a common palette…And I check their flicks and the correct
reserved colors ARE there, however toolbook still flashes…Errrrr TB still
maintains it's an A'desk windows driver thing….However, Authorware seems
OK…..When didi you say A'desk's authoring tool released?????
Let me know if you can shead any more light on the subject – I would love to
help our TOOLBOOK clients –
