I'm having some troubles in using the sf play object. I'm using it for the playback of multiple sound files from an sf list. I also need to randomize the starting point of the files, and I'm trying to do that with the seek message.

While there is no problem with sending the cues of single files from subpatches and recieving them on the main patch where the sf player is, the seek message, which also comes from the subpatches, doesn't seem to come through. The max window gives me the message "seek: no open file". I've tried to delay both the messages, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Also, packing them together doesn't help very much either.
