I thinkthat's how many colours GIFs have by default, so yeah. If they're all going to run together (maybe as a .SWF) then it'll be nice to keep the colours as they started. but then my first frame was a faded blue background, which would have been tricky, so that got munged up by frame 2!
[edit - but I'm hoping that the colours will be OK for continuity. My end frame was a black and white drawing, so I know that's fine!]

pretty much, yesthe only issue we were talking about was that when the GIF is optimised, the number of colours may be reduced, making the key frames slightly different to the originals. Because of that, I've kept my working files and haven't reduced the colour depth. but let's just see what happens - I'm quite probably over analysing this now!

yeahi was just talking about animated gifs in general, just for your own amusement, seeing what they look like with 2 colours.
You can use 128 or 64 if you want to make the anims a bit smaller at this stage each anim will be run on a seperate html page so any slight difference in keyframes won't be noticed as the next page is loaded.
Or if anyone has any good suggestions let me know. maybe keeping to 256 is important.
When i try and import ani gis into flash the last frame or two always get messed up maybe it's just me using an old flash 4 programme.
Anyway night night. (number 2)
