That does not mean necessarily that "the directory" is also set to that 
folder!

Check it in the messages box:

put the directory

That will be the problem...

That's the way its upposed to work :-)

Rewind that thing ;-)

on mouseUp
   set the currenttime of player 1 to 0 ## rewind :-)
   play player 1
end mouseUp

Et voila, c'est ca...
