Re: FLASH: flash timeline

[Paulus Trisnadi]

Hi Dave. All I want to say (which I should've known earlier while doing my

project) is that the visual representation of an audio piece in the

timeline is not correctly mapped time-wise in FLASH. Bummer! I don't know

if you knew that, or if that has anything to do with what you are doing.

Good luck!
