< Is it possible to set the key color as a range?.> No. But if you can modify one of the files, try Mark Yankee's suggestion. Maybe you can give us more details. I am not clear about <composing two flics> and <importing 24-bit pictures>. Do these apply to the same problem? Were the flics created with AniPro? I've often used a macro to creates a mask for each frame on the fly. If this applies to your problem, then "Separate" with "Near" might be useful for creating the mask. <I will upgrade to AAPro V2.0 before the end of the year> On what date? Did I miss an announcement?

I was just kidding about the upgrade. 8^) But, I do feel (hope) that another release is immenent. (however it's spelled??) Sorry, I didn't explain myself too clearly earlier. Here goes another try … The flic that I'm trying to overlay was created by a morphing program. The morphing program creates 24bit pictures with successive numbers. I use the Numpic thing to import pictures as a flc. Unfortunately, in the process of morphing, some of the white background ends up being just off-white (253,253,253). So, when I try overlay it onto a background, I get a speckeled transparent effect. I'm going to try Mark Yankee's suggestions. I've got a lot of reading to do!! Ah ha, I may have just figured it out. I'm going to try overlay it three times. First onto a (253,253,253) background and then that flc onto a (255,255,255) background. Finally I overlay the second flc onto the real background. … It works, I've just tried it. Not too elegant though. It's late. If this is gobledegook (however THAT'S spelled??) just ignore me. Thanks, Michael.
