The application no longer will display the time on the page, it turned to the original request of a progress bar that shows a percentage….

There are some problems of the page not doing what they want it to, when going back through mp3’s… the problem has been identified in .mp3 files are being cached in IE 6.

I’m currently trying to find a fix for this… so far, i’ve tried preventing the page cache using

but no luck so far… when i go into IE, and change my settings to

Tools > Internet Options > (Temporary Internet Files) > Click on Settings > Change the value “Check for newer versions of stored pages” to “every visit to the page” and then i deleted my files, and refreshed the page, and it worked….

Still working on a permanent fix, but we’ve identified the problem. Used a tool called “Service Capture” to find out that it was IE 6 that was doing it… the problem doesnt seem to be happening in firefox, and that is one of the reasons I never saw it, because my base alpha testing was done in firefox….

FOUND THE FIX!

filename = “sometrack.mp3″
//the filename is going to be dynamic
filename = filename + “?r=” + Date();
sndAudio.loadSound(filename, true);

NOTE!!!!!!!!
=================
this wont work when you try to trace it, your going to get errors because it’s not going to run on a webserver… but when it runs on a webserver it works because the command flash sends understands the querystring…

WOOOOOOOOOT!

var artist = “Set Your Goals”
var album = “Mutiny!”
var someVar = ‘<br> Some Test’ + escape(artist) + ‘/’ + escape(album) + ‘end’;
This was a workaround for some stuff I do for

killtheheart player

I haven’t been able to check it with any of the special characters for usage with xml or anything, but this was a quick save for me.

Explanation of Problem:
the timer randomly skips seconds

Fix:
Currently Unknown but working on

More InDepth:
/*
do this to get acutal seconds out of the output which are millisecons
*/
var pos = Math.round(sound.position/1000);

When you output this the seconds roll along every second in the output panel and look much like this…
====================
0.334
1.454
2.556
3.662
4.692
====================

and by using the Math.round function, it will sometimes end up on a second that is later much like this
====================
0
1
2
3
4
5
7
====================

where you obviously can see 7 should be a 6, but because of the rounding, it rounds up…. I’m working on the fix. and heading to the forums.

this person really knows their stuff…

#include “main.as”
#include “xmlHandler.as”

stop();

- Create another Layer called “Questions”
- This Layer will hold all of the form fields.
- dynamic Text Fields
===================
- tQstnNum
- tQuestion
- lblCorrect
- tAnswerText
- tChcNumber0
- tChcAnswer0
- tChcNumber1
- tChcAnswer1
- tChcNumber2
- tChcAnswer2
- … all the way till what ever you want… each
field holds a quetion, and a number of the the question.

- Buttons
===================
- from the components panel, expand the user
interface, and drag 4 buttons on the stage – name the buttons
- btnPrevious
