Hey there,
We have a very helpful user named Marraboy, who is a flash programer (check his site here) and who has decided to donate a flash metronome to GMC. He has insisted to do it for free so be sure to help him out in the forum as much as you can!  Either way - there seems to be a slight bug, we have agreed to ask openly about it. So if anyone has a suggestion how to solve this, please let us know here. Check out the metronome in Wallimann's most recent lesson (found here). You might notice that the metronome clicks unevenly at higher speeds - which is what we would like to fix. This is only a problem when the flash video player is open simultaneously. Kris |

Kris I don't have experience of flash programming, but I do have quite a lot of experience in developing software generally. My question would be how is the timing of the metronome ticks generated? Is it from a hardware timer? When the time expires and a new tick is needed, how is this event serviced? The problem sounds like the flash player sometimes has to do a higher-priority thing rather than play the tick when requested, resulting in uneven ticking at higher speeds. The fact that the problem is worse when the flash video player is active would also indicate this. Can the metronome 'tick' routine be put on a higher priority? The only other explanation I can come up with is that the timer is very inaccurate in counting out the required delay. Not much of a solution I'm afraid, but maybe it will give Marraboy a few ideas about how to tackle the problem. -------------------- QUOTE If you think you can, you can.
