Flicking animations...

Gidday there...
I'm havign trouble at the moment with my animations flicking eack time I
redraw them, as below:

call(wait_retrace)
display_image(old, saved_screen)
saved_screen = save_image... --long like cut short
display_image(player[1..2], image)

saved_screen is the region of the screen before the player is displayed
on top of it. The reason it's flicking is bacause I redraw the old
screen ovetop of the player, then redraw the player's next animation
frame again, so the player is temporaraly (sp?) erased, causing a slight
flicker.

Can this be stopped? I'm usng vid modes 257 (640x480, 256) or 259
(800x600, 256)

thanks :)

Mike :)
