D3DXCreateEffectFromResource question

Sure. It's pretty easy, though the docs aren't real clear. Just declare an array of D3DXMACRO objects, and set the last one to {NULL, NULL}. The loaders will go through each element to get macro assignments:

D3DXMACRO mac[ 2 ] ={	{ "MATRIX_PALETTE_SIZE_DEFAULT", "35" },	{ "NUMBER_OF_LIGHTS,"		 "3"  },	{ NULL,                          NULL }};hr = D3DXCreateEffectFromResource( m_pDevice,	NULL,	sFxFile,	& mac,	NULL,	dwShaderFlags,	NULL,	& m_pEffect,	NULL );

You can say so.
