Hello, Nik.
It seems you're right that the problem is driver-related. I'm running
a #9 TIGA board at 1536×1152 resolution. There are 2 drivers: a
256-color and a true-color (16-bit at this res) and I had tried
both–at various lower resolutions as well–and the problem was the
same, so I had initially discounted a relationship. But when I tried
the FLC using the 16-color VGA driver, the animation, though ugly,
played without leaving trails and dropping in the frame.
This problem doesn't occur with 320×200 FLIs. In fact, a 256-color
FLIC that changes palette every frame plays smoothly in 16-bit color
mode. (In 256-color mode it only does about 2 frames/second max.)
I still find it odd that single-stepping the FLC works fine, but
letting it run doesn't. But I've been trying through to #9 tech
support anyway, as CorelDRAW crashes the 16-bit TC driver. So I guess
it's time to lay another track on their message tape.
Thanks for the reply.
