SamplePosition("Sample") - Not working?

[Game_Master]

Can anyone confirm this? I'm using the latest MMF2 Developer and iOS builds.

I have a string which always displays text from the following expression:

Str$(SamplePosition(CurrentSample))+"/"+Str$(SampleDuration(CurrentSample))

*CurrentSample is a global string.

It works on the exe, but not on the XCode iPhone simulator.

The duration expression works for both MP3 and WAV, but the position expression works only for MP3... I checks, it is written in the documentation, in the Distributing your applications / Differences page...

[Game_Master]

I'm actually using MP3's :/

Could I send you my source to look at?

[Game_Master]

Do you have any advice on this? The project that I need this for is on a fast approaching deadline

Hello,

Can you make just a simple application with the get duration and get position expressions that shows the problem and send it to me? It will be a lot easier than sending the whole project...
Btw : using MP3s to make sound effects is not recommended. There is only one hardware decoder, and they do slow down the application. You should use WAV for sound effects, and only one MP3 for the background music.

Thanks - I've sent you the application. Would the slowdown appear on the simulator, or just on the iOS device?

It will certainly be more apparent on the devices, specially if they are old (slower processors).
