>> Is there some way to prevent a FLC file from changing the palette when it is played via MCI commands? I have a FLC which is mapped to the current background palette, but there is always an ugly flicker when it starts and stops. << not that i know of. <g> the only technique i've seen which seems to have no hiccups is to use a "unity palette"… this requires a program like Animator Pro to create… all FLCs to be shown have their palettes squeezed down and combined into a single palette which accomodates all, and this is saved in all in the FLC file itself. when played… the same palette is being used, so no flashes. -dave
