Then it must wither be a difference in our ears, or the equipment
we are using differs dramatically.  Because I can hear stereo, when
you seem unable to.

Then we are at an impasse. at the moment Russ, because I happen to
disagree with you  There was no 'attempt', as you put it,  but a fully
working example  ( this time using your own peanut track, exactly
as you embedded it yourself in your own swf ).

What's more, the pan values *do* have an effect when changed.
Tracks can independently swapped, lleft to right, right to lef, and
varying amounts of left and and right can also be filtered into the
opposite channel as well. Ref below,

http://www.macromediastudio.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary667.html

Why don't you take another  mp3 stereo track of your own creation, which
you *know* in your own mind to be stereo, then feed it into the snippet I
posted, by (cutting, pasting, then  compiling with swfc?

I'll be pleased to see the result! ;o)

Cheers,



Chris.
