Please help me, I’ve been tearing my hair out over this for a week now!

I am building an MP3 player and for some reason the SOUND\_COMPLETE event is firing too early. If I play the sound from the beginning then all seems fine, the problem is that whenever I seek it cuts off the end of the track.

It seems as though the further I seek, the worse it is - I just cannot figure this out. Surely it shouldn’t matter what value I parse to the mySound.play() function - isn’t it supposed to play to the end???

I have created a cut down version with just a scrub bar abd a quick test load so you can see what I mean. Grab it at [URL=“[http://www.frankmcpolin.com/stuff/ScrubBar.zip](http://www.frankmcpolin.com/stuff/ScrubBar.zip)”][http://www.frankmcpolin.com/stuff/ScrubBar.zip](http://www.frankmcpolin.com/stuff/ScrubBar.zip)

I’m an experienced developer but this is driving me bonkers!

Many thanks in advance.
