2 Hi I posted a question a couple of days ago regarding the inability of the AA Windows driver to recognize the REALIZE <device> PALETTE MCI command. Someone responded saying that Autodesk is sorry but yes, indeed, the command is not supported. I then posted a reply asking the next obvious question: will Autodesk ever support this? The message thread dissappeared from the board since, so..sorry, but I'd like to ask the question again: will Autodesk provide palette support for its driver and when might this be? It seems a rather gigantic limitation. Does anyone there know how to deal with this problem?? (ie we cannot run a .FLC file using the MCI because it does not know how to realize the palette in the background). Any help is really appreciated. We are (as usual) under the gun. Thanks!

(Sorry your message got lost; CI$ has been having troubles with disappearing messages on several forums.) The most I can say about "will REALIZE PALETTE ever be supported" is I hope so; but there've been no official announcements and I am not in the "priviledged" inner circle on such things. New stuff is always being worked on. We are aware that this is a big limitation in the driver. It's the number one question with the Windows Animation Player stuff right now. I don't know whether the ability will be added to this driver or if it will be part of some other completely different product.
