I have been searching feverishly for a way to display the time duration in the playbar WITHOUT having to have the TOC enabled. Nils, I totally agree about your comment that this is a very basic and necessary function. It’s ridiculous that Adobe has left it out. The only thing I’ve found is using advanced functions, but I’ve no time to spend trying to get that to work. Also, there are some widgets out there that do what we’re talking about, but I haven’t seen any that are free and/or suitable for my projects.

Has anyone found a workaround to this since this discussion was opened?

Like Nils, I am surprised that Adobe left out this very basic function! It should be built-in to the playbar. I have spent significant time trying to find a workaround for this and it is very frustrating.

I’m a bit surprised that this integral function is left out in the player…

Is there a possibility to see the total duration of the swf-video in the integrated player _without_ having to activate the TOC function?

The TOC function is useful sometimes, but for my particular projects I only want to use the default player.

Regards
Nils

This is desirable while adjusting length of a demo.

You will find there also the resolution, the number of slides and eventually number of hidden slides.
