#AAPLAY.DLL palette probs
Recently I had a problem with playing animations in a multimedia program that I
was working on. All of the images and animations were carefully prepared with
the same palette with none of the colors in the images utilizing the first or
last 10 colors. Everything ran fine until I tried to run the animations.
There would be a palette shift with one color every time. After plenty of
work, I figured out that one color in the animation was briefly being
substituted on load and unload with color 3 in the palette, which was not being
used by the animation. How can I avoid this problem? Is it a bug? I'm very
nervous when distributing my multimedia because I can't be sure that tomorrow
another color will be changed out. My solution this time was to copy the color
that was being substituted to position 3 of the palette, which worked. Brent
