Christian,

I could write a blog entry or two on that topic. Sounds like a good one. It’s added to the list.

Hi - Have you got any advice on using cuepoints for video with your “no-component” approach?

Thanks for a great blog - your advice is much appreciated!!!

Tim,

Yeah, that is weird — and maybe I missed something important in my code! I’ll keep a reference to your input here and update the article on Adobe if I need to. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Hey - beginner AS2 actionscripter here! I just used your SoundSync class for one of my projects - It came in very handy, so thanks very much!

Just one tiny thing I had to change , in the pollCuePoints function, where it goes:
// Advance to next cue point …
if (_currentCuePoint < _cuePoints.length) {
_currentCuePoint++;
} else {
_currentCuePoint = getNextCuePointIndex(_secondOffset);
}

i had to change to (_currentCuePoint < _cuePoints.length-1)

because otherwise when we’re on the final cuePoint , _currentCuePoint won’t reset, not until the next poll. For some reason , on the next poll when there arent any more cue points , even though the variable time evaluates to undefined, and span is NaN, the condition (position >= time && position <= span) returns true and an event is dispatched. weird hey!?
