MACROMEDIA DIRECTOR MX 2004-DIRECTOR SCRIPTING Reference page 910

The colors of the nonmatching bitmap will be close to the original colors.
Remapping consumes processor time, and it's usually better to adjust the bitmap's palette
in advance.
Remapping can also produce undesirable results. If the palette changes in the middle of a sprite
span, the bitmap immediately remaps to the new palette and appears in the wrong colors.
However, if anything refreshes the screen—a transition or a sprite moving across the Stage—then
the affected rectangle on the screen appears in remapped colors.
Example
This statement tells the movie to remap the movie's palette whenever necessary:
-- Lingo syntax
_movie.paletteMapping = TRUE
// JavaScript syntax
_movie.paletteMapping = true;
