Not sure where i should post this.  
As the project i am working on doesn’t require flash cs3 :\ but i am using Flash cs4.

oh well

Okay,  
so I have an issue with a banner rotator i created.  
if you go here: [http://www.anime-expo.org/](http://www.anime-expo.org/)  
\*_really bad website, but just suck it up. and don’t view in IE_  
Look at the flash banner in the upper right hand corner.  
notice sometimes it works and sometimes it gets stuck on “loading”  
refresh the page a couple times, you might see what i am talking about.

why is that?

the banner reads an XML file, then parses the info into flash, and there i load up the banner URLs one by one and cycle through them.

i’ve spent hours trying to debug my code and I can’t find ANYTHING ☹  
help!

I’ve uploaded the [fla] file to the server for you all to download ☹  
[http://www.anime-expo.org/flash/news\_rotator\_v3.fla](http://www.anime-expo.org/flash/news_rotator_v3.fla)  
\*saved the .fla as Flash CS3, so you’ll need at least Flash CS3 to view it.

Most of the code is kept in Frame 1 in the “actions” layer.

I had this code working last year on another website and it was flawless.  
I have no idea what could be causing the continuous ‘stuck’ issue.  
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t :\

- could it be the \_root.myIdentifier?

if you want to view the code but dont have Flash CS3, let me know i might just post it here for convenience.
