Does anyone know how to display a flic in a Windows program using an MCI call
from either C or Director without getting a white
flash (the background appears to be redrawn in white) before the animation
plays?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flashes in the animation are the result of the Windows palette adjusting itself
to the pallete of the animation. You can minimize this effect by creating/using
a palette for your animations that is 236 colors (not 256) with the first and
last 10 palette positions unused. Those are the positions that Windows likes to
take control of.
