Yes, Scampi does rock on.

But.. a question.. lurks....

...Was that the actual 'ending' to the Song? It is veeeeery mysterious, is it not? After he sings the second verse and repeats the 'Carrots... Handbags... Cheese....' his voice goes suddenly very silent and the music just plays on, and on and on...till it loops.

So, what is the scoop here? Was the song supposed to end abruptly and unfinished in that manner? Or could there have been... more.... ?

Ominous Music plays here.

Its supposed to be a loop. Tne animation freezes for a second as it loops over.

if you'd seen it before the tweak and watched it for about 5 minutes then you'd get cheese at about disguise

Ummm, yes. That much is a given. :P

But WHY did the lyrics suddenly stop after.. "Cheese" was spoken the second time? Was our narrating-pal ... silenced for revealing too much of what he 'saw with his eyes?'
Come on.. play along here. :)

No, it's to make it so that the loop doesn't start a minute earlier than it would have and make it annoying. it's just keeping it on the beat. if he werre to go through the entire list again it wouldn't leave a nice loop.

Sigh.... is that all it is? Here I wanted intrigue and mystery to spice up the story.. and it is just a cute mechanical trick to shore up the shortcomings of problematic timing? Oi. :P

I am sure it has been asked before.. but why not simply use streaming-format to keep everything (both audio and video) in proper sync? I would rather want the freedom to create a Toon as I envision it, and not be slaved to problems inherent in the Flash medium itself. Is it not possible to switch to streaming and still maintain the tight cadence in the movie's background score?

If you read all the other topics about syncing you would be told the answer to that question many times.
