>> 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.
