Jacque,
Sounds as if the same sort of thing is occuring as when we call
multiple beeps and only hear one unless we build in a delay. Why not
try playing several from the message box with a built in delay when
one ends? I'm probably being a bit naive, but sometimes the simplest
things are true. It seems obvious that speed enters the equation
someway.

I'm hoping someone has a clue to this:
I wrote an app for a client 3 years ago which has the ability to
loop through a list of .mov files, playing one after another in
sequence. The .mov files are audio-only, played via a player
object, and require QuickTime. In the Rev version I compiled it
with, there was a bug where a playStopped message was not sent at
the end of playback, so to work around that the script gets the
currentTime, checks every 250 milliseconds, and when the
currentTime remains unchanged, assumes the playback is done. Then
it moves on to the next file.
This has been working fine on both Mac and Windows machines for
several hundred customers over the last 3 years until today, when
one customer says there is a playback problem. She's running XP Pro
on a fast machine with lots of RAM. When she chooses to play a
sequence, it loops through them all very fast, with no playback of
any kind, until it hits the last one in the list which it then
plays. It almost sounds like it isn't loading the .mov files.
The thing is, she can play each file fine by manually choosing it
from a list, so the problem isn't with missing or bad files. They
only fail when played in a sequence. And it only fails for her.
She installed the program on her husband's XP machine and it works
fine there. The only difference she can think of between the two is
that he has the free version of QuickTime and she has QuickTime
Pro. I'm not sure this matters, since the files all play okay
individually and, as I understand it, the QT framework is identical.
Any ideas what would stop playback on that one, single machine?
