Sprite turns to white when re-init

Question

My sprite turns to white.
That's not a new thing, isn't it?
Please download a jpg from
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A6VK63AE
It shows 5 fishes. Two of them are white, which are supposed
to be blue in color.
It makes me hard to track my code because sometimes they turn
color like that, sometimes they don't.
Please help.
Thank you.

Filmloops as John mentioned below.

But, are you puppeting sprites? I'll dig my example up if you
try and
test in a barebones file :)

You put sprites in the score just to create the filmloop, you
can then
remove them again.
As John said: just animate in the score with alternating
members in
sprites and frames to get the swim animation, select all
sprites
involved and either select Insert -> Media Element ->
Filmloop (not
behind director, may also be: Insert -> Filmloop) or just
drag the
selected sprites to the cast. You will then get a new,
animated,
castmember. The sprites used to build the animation can then
be removed
from the score.
If you want to change the animation, just copy the filmloop
castmember
and past it into the score by selecting 'paste sprites' with
the score
window active.
