Movie not moving scenes

I have an image scroller that has a loading scene followed by the actual image view scene. If I turn looping off in my publish settings then the movie never gets passed the 100% loading view (despite me explicitly actionscripting a gotoAndPlay(“Scene2”,1)). However, if looping is turned on then the movie runs as expected. I also have a stop() on the first frame of my scene2 image view. Why does looping have this effect. Thanks.
