WMP Current Position problem

Hello,

I am having problems with WMP in a web page. I am using the sample embedding
code in WMP 10 SDK and it works fine. But I cannot set any controls to set
the current position. I need to start the video at certain times but cannot
get the Player.Controls.currentPosition Param. to function.

I put currentposition event under the play button click event but the video
always starts from the beginning of the video. If I click on the play button
a second time the video starts at the currentposition mark.

Any ideas??

First off the file must be "Indexed" in order to perform seek
functions. So you need to find that out - it would happen either at
encoding time (in the encoder profile) or afterwards, for example
using "Save as and Index" in windows media file editor.

What happens when you put a testing "alert('hello world')" in your
javascript just before you set the position - do you see the alert pop
up, or is your function not being called ?

And finally (assuming IE) what error reporting have you set in IE
options - you need to display all script errors.
