Timing, A GoTo action using a frame number (instead of a Label) will go

to last frame loaded at the moment a button is pressed if that frame

does not exist or has not loaded yet. A moment earlier or later can make

a big difference. The same problem will occur with forward looking frame

actions. Loading speed can be a major factor in who is affected

adversely and who is not.


The key to knowing if this is a likely cause of your problem is if the

file works normally on your hard drive and after being reloaded when in

cache on the server.
