A Problem That Was Not The Problem I Thought It Was Is Resolved

After almost a day plus trying to diagnose what was wrong… I discoverd I had encoded my audio improperly. I was scouring through my code, sure that I had misnamed something, or wired something up wrong.

Note to self: trust your code more.

Everything was fine. Just the audio files were off (I must have saved them out as Flash 6, when the rest of the site was based on Flash 5). It’s a bit like building your own stereo system… and then trying to get music to play. You keep pulling things apart, putting them back together again, trying to see which component is wrong. The speakers? The CD-player itself? What’s not working right?

After constant checking, it turns out the CD’s are bad.

I had another similar struggle today, where I was checking and rechecking things. I was trying to trigger a movie clip that controlled the volume… but it wasn’t firing. Turns out, I had made the layer into a guide, and it simply wasn’t exporting. Fack!

Oh well. Big problems that turned out to be silly oversights in the end. So it goes.
