Hello. My First post.  
I’m designing website and i discovered a problem that i have never had before… I dont know if its my mistake or not but i feel like its a flash bug.

I have a little preloader animation then a progress bar and after the loading is done it should play the rest of the animation and then stop at frame 5 at \_root. Insted it restarts the movie and plays it again… well the second time its played it works… 😑

The movie i uploaded is cut off version of the original but the same idea…  
Please Help.
