I would expect that the problem is that you are trying to call a frame

that isn't loaded yet. The Mac Netscape may be loading slower than your

other test browsers.


Use an If frame is loaded routine to protect against this possibility.


To prove the point (one way or the other), put the action in a button

and wait for the movie to completely load before pressing tghe buton. If

it works after the file is loaded then it is as I described.
