Keith, I'm having a problem with Director 2 playing an anim file. I used Black Belt System's Image Processor to create 20 pictures in IFF24 format (80 X 50 resolution.) I am trying to "morph" picture #1 into #20. I rendered each 24 bit image to its own HAM picture having its own palette. I assembled the pictures, 1 through 20, into an anim with the PD makeanim. I tried to ping pong the anim in DPaint4 but, unless I did something wrong, it doesn't support anims that that change palettes and I get a mess. I used the pingpong Director 2 script (modifying only the path, file names, and deleting the sound info) it works fine when going from frame 1 to 20 but reversing the anim screws up the palette. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
