Changed affected version to 0.9.6 (from 0.9.5.1). Problem still exists.
Modified example to simple black & white flashing.

Re-tested in 0.9.8.1. Still fails, but worse. Now it won't compile, since Get Fonts causes an Internal Error . (This worked before!)

Still Fails on both the Get Fonts and the flashing error.
Fails in both Amiga and AOZ manifests. NOT Amiga-specific.

No errors now...
It does look as though its fading to black ok now when code runs (flash), no? Or should it achieve also something else?
Flash 2,"(FFF,2)(DDD,2)(BBB,2)(999,2)(777,2)(555,2)(333,2)(111,2)(000,2)(333,2)(555,2)(777,2)(999,2)(BBB,2)(DDD,2)"
..
Daves notes though on the subject...
'The bottom line with that one is, until we have an Amiga specific renderer and screen class, flash is never going to work like it did on the Amiga on a true colour screen'.
