Re: FLASH: Load Movie

[Jayma]

Hi Wayne,


I seemed to have discovered this problem myself.  But I am not sure what to do about getting around it.  


I have an intro piece to a site that I want to have the home movie (with a parked 1st frame) load half way thru so there is a smooth transition between the intro and home, but upon reaching the frame with the stop action in the intro, sometimes the movie moves thru it (ignoring the stop action) and stops on the park frame and the visitor can't click on the button to go to the home movie.  


I currently am dependent on the first movie for the background images, otherwise I would have it just load the second movie and play.  I don't know if this is making sense, but I have spent hours trying to fix it, and I can't help but think there is something I have done.  Any ideas?  Need more explanation? 


I should add that this doesn't happen all the time, and there is no logic to it's occurrence (i.e. could be on reload, first load, cleared cache reload, all of the above)  (Authored on Mac 7100/G3, OS 8.5.1, tested in NN 4+ and IE 4+)
