Everyone,  
I’m having an issue with this flash site. I read that it might be an issue caused by the loadMovie() command, but want to make sure before doing any drastic changes.

Here is a test link of just the book portion that doesn’t use the loadMovie() call.

Would some of you mind checking out these that use macs and let me know what you think?

Are you sure that the loadMovie() command is called once and only once? i.e.: it’s not on an enterFrame or loop of any kind?

Yeah, I drew the book in Photoshop. I found out the hard way that Flash hates tweening bitmaps (if you look closely you’ll notice the book’s opening sequence is sort of goofy bc I cheated a bit).

Thanks for your help guys, I think this will help me solve the problem… Here’s what’s going on in the full version that I believe is causing the issue.

I have a main movie with just links that upon clicking one will load another movie (the book movie) in a different frame. When I click ‘HOME’ in the book movie, it will send you back to the initial frame of the main movie. Clicking a link again thus calls loadMovie() a subsequent time. I’m not in front of my code right now, but I think it’s a safe bet that that’s the issue. Only thing I don’t get is that the loadMovie() command only gets called when I click a link, so maybe I’m doing something else wrong. But I’m glad to hear the main book swf works bc that isolates the problem right there 🙂
