Tommy's Holiday Camp?
I'm yer Uncle Ernie...
Seriously, I don't know why it wouldn't. Have you got a handy stripped down rlo I can try on? Must be a different problem...

I actually mean the resulting .rlo is going to double in size just to address this.
I have thousands of these.
And it gets better. Some of them are set Wait=0, because in the original AW the sound was followed by a motion icon which animated a chunk of text for the same amount of time as the sound was long.
So I'm trying to figure out what's blowing up in the engine, but can't output the debug info from xmlengine.swf:
====================from a post made a couple days back
What's up with fred = this._parent.sound.duration ?
debug("new sound"); //appears when .rlo hits sound icon with Wait set to 1
dec.createEmptyMovieClip("waitWatcher", ++this.levels); //existing code
dec.waitWatcher.onEnterFrame = function() { //existing code
fred = 1; //works, shows up in debug below
//fred = this._parent.sound.duration; // causes totally blank debug window
debug(fred);
if (this._parent.sound.duration == this._parent.sound.position) {
this._parent.exit();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
etc
How do I get engine stuff to show up in a debug window?

Hope it wasn't a nasty bug or something.
No, no, it was holiday...
...I don't think the code would be huge to find all sound icons, and then create a new node new XML('<xmlStringHere/>') style and then loop over your list of nodes adding the new XML after each one? findNodesByName should find all the nodes of a type and XMLNode.insertBefore should do the insertion?
//from the engine...
XMLNode.prototype.findNodesByName = function(nodeName, rootNode){
if (rootNode == undefined){
//boss node
rootNode = this;
rootNode.nodesList = new Array();
}
var rootNode = (rootNode == undefined ? this : rootNode);
for (var i = 0; i < this.childNodes.length; i++){
if (this.childNodes[i].nodeName == nodeName){
rootNode.nodesList.push(this.childNodes[i]);
}
this.childNodes[i].findNodesByName(nodeName, rootNode);
}
return this.nodesList;
}

No problem!
I think Tom did mention your were off.
Yes, I can write a widget to insert all that code but I'm loathe to double the size of the file just for this.
I wanted to see if I could figure out where it's falling over, but can't figure out how pass some of the data back from the engine.
I think it's in a post following this one you responded to.
Hi Dan. ;-).

I think so, it's been a while, but I've seen it before, a long time ago, nd was unale to fix it. You might be able to verify that diagnosis somehow?
