- There is a simple explanation - each GIF file has its own pallette of 256
- colors chosen from a total possible palette of 16.7 million. what is
- happening is this, let's say that GIF A has in the first slot of its
- palette the color yellow, and GIF B has in its first slot blue. If A is
- active, all the blue in B will now be yellow. Get it?
-
- I assume that what you were trying to do was to have several GIFs
- displaying at once - if so, the only way to get it to work, is to apply a
- common pallette to each file using either Photostyler, Animator Pro, or
- possibly another 24-bit image editing tool.
