ideas 1. Are you sure of the duration? Variable-bitrate MP3s (VBR-MP3s) can't return accurate duration to Director.
2. MP3-style compression is lossy compression, this means that the re-expanded sound contains slightly different data than the source file. This is not really 'rounding error', but more like compression artifacts in a JPEG (a FOL). If your source file was CD-quality (44.1 kHz), then the 10 ms that you are talking about is only 4 samples missing. 3. Usefulness? You want to play the last 10 ms of the file? This is a VERY short sound (4 samples). I'm pretty sure that you'd have a hard time hearing it. hth -Buzz At 3:27 PM +0100 11/26/01, Natalia Tjelum wrote: >Very strange, I am playing a soundfile(MP3), but get an error when >attempting to play it with the startTime a bit shorter than the duration of >the sound member, it variates depending on which member I am playing.
