75300,3406 I just had a problem running ANIM's that are 736X482, 8 colors. The anims were BLOADed. A 704X480, 16 colors anim plays back fine. Any thoughts? Have you any patches yet for cycling non-contiguous colors? Anything new about synchonizing with SMPTE/MIDI code? Is a new version around the corner with new Amiga's being introduced? Thanks for your answers?

I know I've played ANIMs that size. How much chip RAM does your system have? Fast RAM? What happened? What version of the Projector are you using? >Have you any patches yet for cycling non-contiguous colors? Not yet. It may not be available until Director version 3. >Anything new about synchonizing with SMPTE/MIDI code? I've been using a JLCooper PPS-1 with a tweaked MIDI module providing some level of MIDI timecode support. Not really ready to use yet. I figure The Director will need timecode interrupt handling to make it useful, which is a Director version 3 enhancment. >Is a new version around the corner with new Amiga's being introduced? All of these things are being worked on, unfortunately I don't have a good estimate of the schedule as of yet. AmigaDOS has serious complications with regards to backwards compatibility. I'm trying to avoid having two versions, a 3.0 version and a pre-3.0 version, etc. Unfortunately, 3.0 adds a lot of new features I want to take advantage of. If C= decides to release 3.0 on existing hardware it would make things a hell of a lot simpler. Keith
