Duration slider to audio controller

[gazzer]

Trying to add a duration slider to a play and stop controller similar to what you see when viewing a .wav or .aiff file in a browser. I would like the viewer to be able to go backward or forward during a speech. Final delivery is in Dreamweaver as a .swf. Can anyone kick start me into this?

Thanks,
Gaz

Hi,
You need to use the 'duration' and 'position' peoperties of the sound object in the same way you would use 'getBytesLoaded' and 'getBytesTotal' to build a preloader.

duration:

mySound.duration

Description

Property (read-only); the duration of a sound in milliseconds.

position:

mySound.position

Returns

Number of milliseconds the sound has been playing.

Description

Property (read-only); returns the number of milliseconds a sound has been playing. If the sound is looped, the position will be reset to 0 at the beginning of each loop.

SHO

if mySound.duration == 100% (xscale of bar)
mySound.position = n%

or

if mySound.duration == width of bar
mySound.position = some x position on the bar

EKI,

Thanks for responding. This makes sense. I will give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.
