Everything works like I want when I test it in Flash, but when I publish it and view in html, the first frame comes up fine, but all other frames display the background color (white). Whenever it loads I have it set to go to a random frame (1-8) and in each frame is a simple movie clip that just tweens the brightness from -100% to 0% (black to normal).  
Below is the actionscript I have in the first frame.

```auto
var r:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*7)+1;

_root.onLoad=function(){
this.gotoAndStop(r)
}

stop();

btn_next.onRelease = function () {
   if (_root._currentFrame == 8) {
       gotoAndStop(1)
   }
   else {
      nextFrame();
   }
}

btn_prev.onRelease = function () {
   if (_root._currentFrame == 1) {
       gotoAndStop(8)
   }
   else {
      prevFrame();
   }
}

```
