MP3 Object - Seek error

[midlander]

I have placed several buttons on a page with simple code.
MP3.Load (%MySong.mp3%)
MP3.Play
Works fine, but on button 3 the code is:
MP3.Load (%MySong.mp3%)
MP3.Seek(15)
MP3.Play
If the first button I click is number 3 then I generate an error Seek is too large for MP3.
However if I click and begin playing any other song then click button 3 it works.

Im confused, help?

It might be that your mp3 has not loaded fully before you try to seek. If you put a sleep 1 after the MP3.load action and then seek see if that helps.

Thanks, the sleep command seems to have done the trick.

If i were you, I'd give it a 2 second sleep to assure it works on slower systems as well. :

It just so happens that was exactly what I did, used a 2 second delay. Have not gotten the error again.

Thanks

I wish my brain had a 2 second sleep function. I could nap during page loads and accumulate massive amounts of sleep daily.

Corey you just need a self bobbler to pause for those times. Variable delay bobbler would be good.

Yeah sure a good old VDB, why didn't I think of that? I'll be like one of those wine cup dipping birds. Ploonk, type-type-type, Ploonk, type-type-type...
