Hi all, Can anyone enlighten me on what I am doing wrong here. I am on WIN 98, D8, Riva TNT 32Mb vid card I can't get seem to get a colordepth change to be reflected in a movie that is called from the projector. In the projector,I first check the colorDepth, if below 16 I store off as a global for later use and set the colorDepth to 16 after this I check it again to confirm and open an MUI for the user to proceed if it didn't work (all working fine). Then I call a new movie( in which I put a simple alert that reports the colordepth state for testing) But this new movie visually opens in the original colorDepth (8) while reporting that the Depth is 16 I have tried updatestage on the first frame of the new movie, also set the colorSwitch property to TRUE. I can't think of anything else, all debugging/reporting tells me nothing is wrong. Thanks to anyone who can save my sanity.
