Hi Michelle,
I also use a scheme for addressing sprites by name instead of channel number. I wrote
an article on it for DOUG and you can
find it at:

Briefly, instead of using sendallsprite I drop a behavior on each sprite that I want

I'm not sure how you get 0 from your put expression.
It should give you 30
The problems you are having are confusing

off the top of my head this might work,
instead of using a fixed frame rate this works out the rate on the fly, so
if you movie isn't running at exactly 10fps you will get a true time
remaining
track elapsed time by noting the time your sequence started and
subtracting that from the current time

Hey Irv,
off the top of my head I believe you need pointToWord(sprite spriteNumber,
whichPoint)
this gives you the number of the word in the text of the sprite you then
have to get the word from the text member by using
textMember.word[whichWord]

Hey Colin,
All I hear is the faster tone of m1 no m2 sound at all, neither in the browser or
in D8.
If I go into m2 and move the sound to member 3 and have channel one pointing to
member 3 and also have a copy of the sound in member 3 of m1 then it will play
alright. m2's sound channels are talk
Okay I put the sound file in the main movie and everything works.
Once again shows that certain elements of LDMs are not unique but need to talk
to the stage. The sound channels and the sound object actually reference the
stage and not the LDM, much like the problems seen in mouseEnter/Leave.

How are you playing the sounds? Are you using puppet sound? In my experience
sounds in the sound channels do not work. I use puppet sound in LDMS
