Not sure about the first two. As to the last, is the action to load the
movie somehow being repeated, for instance if the movie is looping? Make
sure there's a Stop action at the end of the movie that generates the
LoadMovie action. Might not be a problem locally because it loads fast
enough, whereas on the web it doesn't have time to finish loading.
Partially loaded movies must reload from the start -- the cache won't store
just part of a movie that hasn't finished loading. Just a thought.
