Transparency problem in exporting series of gifs for animation

[Guest_imported]

I have created a logo consisting of a 2-d oval in color #1.&nbsp;&nbsp;A 3-d text extrusion sits on the oval in a second color (fountain fill) and is lighted.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am rotating the extrusion (only) by increments of 10 (y axis only) and exporting each rotation to a new gif file for future animation.<br><br>The oval and the text are surrounded by a &quot;bounding box&quot; in color #3 (30% grey).&nbsp;&nbsp;The stacking order is bounding box, oval, 3-d text.&nbsp;&nbsp;In exporting, the 30% grey is selected as the transparent color.<br><br>Problem:&nbsp;&nbsp;With approximately each third rotation and export (ie #s 3, 6, 9 etc.) Corel changes the transparent color.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I reselect the 30% grey, corel assigns it a &lt;different&gt; number (say from 204 on the previous export to 211 on the current).&nbsp;&nbsp;The result is that the bounding box flashes on and off visible during the animated gif operation on a web page. <br><br>I have tried reselecting the transparent color and I have tried letting Corel pick the transparent color.&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither option results in a uniformly transparent background when brought into the animator program.<br><br>I suspect the problem has something to do with the combination of the fountain fill and the rotation of the extrusion (which results in there being a slightly different color pallet at each angle of rotation) but I don't know what to do about it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help would be appreciated.

The color palette you are using is a custom color palette.&nbsp;&nbsp;Usually the default for the custome colors is CMYK which is used for process printing.<br>If your 30% grey is created using CMYK values, then each time you export your artwork to .GIF, the system needs to translate that into an RGB based color.<br>RGB is used for monitor display.<br>You may be able to avoid the problem by giving your bounding box and RGB based color in Corel Draw before you export anything.
