i have an mp3 playing in my movie and i want a time to show in the media player. i want it to show like this: “current position time/song duration time”. it all works except that when the current position time gets to 31 (seconds) it adds one to the minute side. here’s my code:

```auto

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 durMinutes = Math.round((mySound.duration/1000)/60);
 var durMinSeconds = durMinutes * 60;
 durSeconds = (Math.round(mySound.duration/1000)) - durMinSeconds;
 posMinutes = Math.round((mySound.position/1000)/60);
 var posMinSeconds = posMinutes * 60;
 posSeconds = Math.round(mySound.position/1000);
 if (posSeconds < 10){
  posSeconds = "0" + posSeconds;
 }
}

```

thanks in advance!

I just applied your code to something in my code and it does do what you say, jumps at 30 or 31 seconds. here’s what to change:  
posMinutes = **int** ((mySound.position/1000)/60);  
im not crazy about the Math.round function since I’m not familiar with what it specifically does with ints and floats.

	var durMinSeconds = durMinutes*60;
	durSeconds = Math.floor(mySound.duration/1000)-durMinSeconds;
	posMinutes = Math.floor((mySound.position/1000)/60);
	var posMinSeconds = posMinutes*60;
	posSeconds = Math.floor(mySound.position/1000)-posMinutes;
	if (posSeconds<10) {
		posSeconds = "0"+posSeconds;
	}
}

Oops, my bad, i was thinking about this

```auto
        
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        durMinutes = Math.floor((mySound.duration/1000)/60);
        var durMinSeconds = durMinutes*60;
        durSeconds = Math.floor(mySound.duration/1000)-durMinSeconds;
        posMinutes = Math.floor((mySound.position/1000)/60);
        var posMinSeconds = posMinutes*60;
        posSeconds = Math.floor(mySound.position/1000)-posMinSeconds;
        if (posSeconds<10) {
                posSeconds = "0"+posSeconds;
        }
}

```
