Hi Steven, this sounds similar to the sample rate bug, this one drove me absolutely bat shit.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-33 someone in the thread provides some files that may be helpful to you, i didn't check them out so i can't verify, we just resampled all the audio files for our project, but this is breaking alot of legacy apps at the moment. apparently FP10 fixes this issue. hopefully this helps some, Dunc > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:53:50 -0700 > From: Steven Sacks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Flashcoders] BUG: channel.position doesn't work with mp3s > below 128kbps > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Flash Coders List > <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Man I just keep finding more and more bugs with Sound.
