When ever I play a flic in windows through AAplay the colors change? Is there something I can do <in other words…where did I screw up?>?

Could this be a limitation of your Windows configuration (ie running in 16 color mode to maximize resoluation)?

Robert, if your Windows is running in a 16 color mode, that will seriously change the colors in the animation. Or, if you are running in 256 color mode, it may be that your animation is using all 256 colors, which will cause the coloring in other windows and the desktop to change. –PhilD [ADESK]

Hey, I should cook up a palette file that if used will let an animation look okay in windows at 16 colors (so long as you only use those colors). Look for it here later this week. Chuck Jameson Silver Tongue Software
