What's the deal with "playrate"? > Hopefully that will fix the problem. The 'playrate' is a QuickTime property that I always used back in the days of LiveStage Pro (a QuickTime authoring environment). When I started using LiveCode I always used 'playrate' (rather than 'start player') out of habit. When I saw reports of problems with 'start player' the problems were often resolved by switching to 'set playrate'. I just took a look at the engine source code and the engine is making different calls to get the movie playing with 'start player' then when you set 'the playrate'. When setting the 'playrate' QuickTime is completely responsible for getting the movie to play back properly. > I think I owe you yet again, Trevor. Just send more feed for my children.
