fl_free_colors( FL_COLOR *cols, int n );
See Chapter 23, Drawing objects.

What do you mean by "changes color continiously?" Do you mean that
every time you add a color from there on in the displayed value for
COL_1 changes or something more dramatic?
How are you changing/adding colors? With fl_map_color() or by
directly accessing the X Colormap with XAllocColor()? Bear in mind
that the color indices in XForms are not the same as the pixel
indices in the X Colormap -- this can be terribly confusing sometimes.
For anything other than simple XForms operations, I generally just
work with the DefaultColormap directly. I've never had a problem with
tromping on XForms colors as long as I'm careful to use only the cells
allocated with XAllocColorCells() or XAllocColorPlanes(). Anything
else belongs to someone else and is "hands off."

I don't recall seeing the original post to which this refers. What
error are you getting?
As far as I know there is not limit to the number of times you can
change either an XForms or X cursor. I have an application that does
it a fair amount and have not ever had any problem with cursors that
wasn't my error.
