Hey Jason, Hahaha - not a problem - in fact, I think I intended to direct it to Joachim since I think he's the one that wrote the code to begin with.
As I mentioned, one of my files is about 330 MB. After a fresh restart of everything, I clicked on the file, waited about ten seconds with nothing happening, then got up and went to sit on the balcony and drink some tea for about ten minutes. When I came back, there was still no META file. Just disconnecting and reconnecting and trying it again - by about the third try, the file had been created. Judging by the time stamps for the file creation and last accessed values, it took about twenty seconds to make the file. However, it did disconnect me from the server. Once the file was generated though, everything worked wonderfully. You're using version 1781 or version 1817? I'm using the latter with the oflaDemo SWF, to which I've added my own modifications that include controls for pause, stop, play, a seek bar, and mute button to make it easier to view things. Maybe I should post my SWF somewhere for anyone else that would like to use it - I really like having that "Output" window to see what's going on but didn't have so much time to write an app from scratch (still learning how everything actually works as I go along). =) Nate On Tue, 3 Apr 2007, Jason Powell wrote: > Hey Nathan. > > I know this wasn't directed to me, but how long were you waiting for > the .meta file to show up?
