It is only on my computer I have this problem. For some reason, the steps for any particular song will be a faster BPM than the song is. I will start the song out not so bad, and by going with the beat, the arrows get ahead of me. By the end of the song, the arrows will have finished before the song is over.

I do some less complex flash work, and I understand that R2 is alot more advanced than I know. But I don't have a single clue about how this could possibly happen.

I would really appreciate any kind of feedback as far as some kiind of understanding on why it might be doing this. because as of right now, it is totally beyond me.

I've tried it both in firefox, and in IE. same problem. I have the ATI 9600 AIW video card, if that might have anything to do with it. I have the latest flash player as well.

Thanks in advance for any replies regarding this.

I apologize for posting the same problem twice, I accually posted months ago about it, and people got into other conversations about LD's aunt and such. But nothing else ever came of it, it is on page 3 or so. So if you would like to take this off, go ahead.

Well, R2 uses the getTimer() function within Flash to work with timing etc, so as long as the steps have the correct gap, which most of them do, you should be ok. But I have no idea why it gets ahead of you. It has never happened on my machine.

Try clearing your cache and restarting your computer.

wait. the getTimer() function. That has to do with my clock in the computer, right?. That might explain it. if I don't update my computer time constantly the time will get ahead of me.

Maybe this is the reason? What do you think?

Thanks again,

Nope, getTimer() gets the number of milliseconds since the game has started.
