You betcha. You can have as many movie clips following the knob as you like. Just use the setInterval() loop update additional clips’ _x properties in the same way as knob’s.

To randy …

Flash MX 2004 may not “realize” what the NetStream.onMetaData event is, even though Flash Player 7 does. Try this version instead (just another way of accessing the same event) and write back if you still run into problems.

ns["onMetaData"] = function(evt:Object):Void {...}

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=as, frame=1:Line 15: There is no property with the name ‘onMetaData’.
ns.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):Void {

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks so much

There’s a very good chance! The only question is when. I’m writing chapters for a new book that will almost certainly carry me through the end of January, 2008 — possibly into February — so my blog posts may be sparse for several weeks.

Aha! Yes, then you would indeed have to know the video’s and SWF’s framerates, then do the math to provide an approximate time counter. If you can read the time from NetStream it would likely be more accurate. But without a known duration, of course, you wouldn’t be able to say “mm:ss of total mm:ss” (sounds like a real challenge, in any case!).
