keep it real 
how do you fix the thing when you fade down and change the screen without it flashing the screen before fading up? i had a method in anarchy halloween party to stretch a black sprite over the screen so when it flashes it stays all black but i want to know if there are any good ways to fix this problem.

Use preload_seq before any fade_downs for any new graphics on the next screen.

I believe it happens whenever it loads the sequences from dir.ff files, so preloading them before hand *should* fix it.
