Thanks for the prompt reply. AAPLAYHI.EXE will play the FLI files from Animator Studio with the correct colors. However, we have an installed base of about 4500 systems ranging from AT's to 486DX33's using AAPLAY. I would really like to sort our the problem with it. I moved the particular flick and players to other systems (AT and a PS/2 70) to further verify this inconsistency. Saving .FLI files with either 256 or 236 colors DOES make a difference in the colors that AAPLAY displays, but neither are correct. I can take an FLI file that plays correctly using AAPLAY, open it in AAS, save it as an FLI file and then AAPLAY will not display the correct colors on any machine I've tried. I am a neophyte, but why switch to another player, if I am still only trying to display 300X200 at256 colors? The target systems are only running DOS. Is it any help to tell you, I have AAS version 1.0? Would it be any help to email a small "before and after" flick? I could use a shareware program (Animagician) to fix the palette after AAS does its thing, but its time consuming and I'd rather not. Thanks again, Kenny
