End of story with the animated clown.gif :-)

After having set the constantmask to true, it works on my Mac.

Trying the stack on Win2K, XP SP1, the appearance of the gif was wrong,
sort of greyish background mixed up in the animation..
But more, crash Revolution on XP SP3 !!!!

Then, following Jacqueline advice, import it in Graphic Converter,
export it again with the default option as an animated gif,
and everything works perfectly in the 4 boxes.


Well, find a bit bizarre that it crash on the XP SP3... ???

Thanks to all for your generous advices,

Regards,
Thierry
