If I'm not mistaken, there's a flaw in the logic, as the progress is based on bytesLoaded and bytesTotal, while the shuttle/scrubber
is time based.
Only the beginning and end of both will match up (0% loaded = 0 time -- 100%
loaded = total time).
Make sense?
Most video players out there do it

Most of the old CS textbooks sentence you to hell for using public variables
so let's not refer to those ;)
Make sense?
bytesTotal = 100% * width;
duration = 100% * width;
bytesLoaded / bytesTotal = 0%-100% * width
time / duration = 0%-100% * width
The relationship between bytesLoaded and time is 1 to 1, which is why my
scrubber logic is flawless. That's where you went off the track. Eek, a pun!
And just to clarify:

I usually take the private with getters and setters approach - I can check
the bounds of the setting of the var. I am thinking more of designers here
taking the code and using it than I am other developers. Although I have
many times set up public vars that I tweak from outside the class(es) too.
I think we're saying the same thing there. :-)
Such code amending is needed in languages like Java, because you can't
go from a property to a getter/setter _without_ changing the
interface. Which is why the Java getters and setters are used almost
everywhere - like I said, it's programming in

We are using SVN. If you create a tag, it just creates an alias to the

a huge amount.

Smaller projects we've done what you have. My understanding of SVN

Hi,

it should not exist in full unless you get it out of the repository -
