Dummy Page/Buttons Problem - Scenarist

[Hase99]

Hi, my last questions weren`t answered.
I hope you guys can help me now.

For a project I lately decided to use an InEffect.
It`s a multipage Menu, so there are problems with the InEffect.
I just can swith off the OutEffect with the "Effect Off Flag",
not the In Effect.
So I did it with a dummy page
(see this topic: http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-165983.html

It works fine, but there is a problem with the dummy button.
I`ve to put the last image of my InEffect into this buttons for all states (normal, selected, activated).
My problem is, that the colors of that picture are weird.
I can`t assign a palette to the picture as I can do it in the Effect Wizard.
Can you help me?

The buttons will get the palette from the page. If your colors are weird, assign the right palette (or create a new palette with the right colors) to the page.

Thanks for your answer.

I can assign a new palette to the page.
But I can`t assign that new palette to the special picture.
(I put that PNG via Grag and Drop into the Data Tree, it is in the bottom part of my Data Tree. It automatically takes the colours of the first palette from the page. When I change the first palette with the plaette from the PNG, that colours sre Ok then, but the first men looks crazy then , of course.)

I wouldn`t have the problem, if i know before the project to put an InEffect. So i would make sure, that the first menu and the PNG have the same palette.

But how can I change the colour palette now inbetween my workflow?

I don't understand your way to do that effect.
If you use In/Out Effect you can specify a palette for the effect and have a different palette for the page. In that case for the In/Out effect, use the palette of the PNG.
If you're using a dummy page to do the same, in that dummy page you should be using only the dummy button and then re-direct to another page (the real menu). In that case you just need to assign the PNG palette to have the right colors. Doesn't make sense to have both a InEffect AND a dummy button with animation.... but maybe I have understood wrongly.
Maybe some screenshots would help...
