Hi Frank,
Not sure why it's an issue for you, so I'm not sure what to suggest.
If you still want to test the length of the audio clip, use
SoundObject to load it and then use SoundObject's onComplete method
to tell you when the sound is done.
But the bigger question is, why is this a problem? As I mentioned, if
the sound is musical, you'd almost certainly hear a change in pitch
if the speed were off by one or two percent.

Thanx Marc,
I don't have a stopwatch...but I did use windows media player and when
I put a 'finish' text box on the 362nd frame, then it doesn't appear
until approximately 2 seconds after the audio has finished playing.
In one way it seems like a bug since the frame after the audio clip is
not being executed until 2 seconds later than it should. But it
maybe, like you said, the audio clip is eating up so many resources
that Flash won't even show the 'finish' text box until 2 seconds after
it should.
It does fine with .avi video files though...it is just .wav and .mp3
files that are giving me troubles.
Any other suggestions?
thanx -

From your description, it's not clear if the trace output is 32
seconds or 28.1 seconds. But either way, if the sound were being
slowed down or sped up that much, you would likely hear a difference
in pitch (especially if it's music).
Try timing the audio with a stopwatch. I'm guessing it's the trace
call that's being delayed due to the sound processing, and that the
sound is being played correctly.
