Not sure if this will help but try setting the filename to empty before setting a new filename. There were some memory problems that occurred with players in the past that could be alleviated with this technique.

Audio chopped off with player filename change
Finally changing to 2.4 and 2.4.1, but am regretting it a bit. Audio and animation is an integral of my project. Here's the problem. I make use of alot of short sound clips by changing the filename, eg. set the filename of player "sndeffect" to "sound1" But every other sound that is played the beginning of the sound clip is chopped off. This only happens with changes to the filename of the sound clip. If the Filename of the player was never changed the sound will be find each time the Play or Start command is used. ONly with changes to filename will this phenonemon occur. Buffering didn't help. Setting the filename to "empty" didn't help. This has to be a bug. I'm using a mac. scott ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Time Date Problem on Sun SPARC SOLARIS (Sivakatirswami)

Alias on desktop
Hi, I am writing for a client an installation procedure to install a MC standalone + the data folder from a CDROM to the end user HD (on Windows). The client also wants an alias to be automatically installed on the desktop. How can this be done from a MC script ?
