[Golist] extending PlayableBase for simple action

[Moses Gunesch]

Hm, that's a problem then.

In PlayableGroup.start(),

for (var item:Object in _children) {
	var started:Boolean = (item as IPlayable).start();
	if (started)
		listenTo(item as IPlayable);
	r = (started || r);
}

Try this instead,

for (var item:Object in _children) {
	listenTo(item as IPlayable); // first in case of immediate STOP/ 
COMPLETE.
	var started:Boolean = (item as IPlayable).start();
	if (!started)
		unListenTo(item as IPlayable);
	r = (started || r);
}

Let me know if that fixes it so that you can send COMPLETE in your  
start() method. If so I'll commit that change. :-)

-m
