Curious QT playback problem

Jacque,

This is a stab in the dark, but from a logical standpoint, could this  
be happening:

1) User starts first movie
2) For whatever reason, it takes more than 250 milliseconds to  
actually start playing
3) Timer sees that currentTime hasn't changed, think the movie is  
done (in reality, it hasn't even started)
4) Go to second movie, repeat #2...

This might be no help if your script is more complicated (i.e. checks  
the duration against the current time), but that's the only logical  
flow I could think of...!

Maybe something about her machine or Quicktime Pro is taking longer  
to start playing the movies? 250 milliseconds might be enough to  
throw off your script, but still not human-perceived?

> I'm hoping someone has a clue to this...
