Hello List, An Android question. For "play" to work with a player object (which refers to an audio mp3 file), must "visible" be set to "true" during the mobileControlCreate? Or the rect values be set to within the card's rect? It seems they must. Because the following works: mobileCont

most likely it was compiled for Power PC, Intel macs didn't exist then. I would venture to say that they wouldn't work.

Thanks, Scott. Clipping isn't the problem. The send-in milliseconds can be much longer than the sound file's milliseconds length, and still there's a hiccup in the loop. And in the past I've tried "wait until the sound" is done too, but still get hiccups in the send loop after the nth time. Y
