"stop" action not working...help needed

buttons on my main interface load external swf files which contain their own buttons. one of these external swfs has 6 total frames, each of which are labeled, and each of which has a “stop” action on it. however, when i test the site online, the swf quickly loops through over and over, ignoring the actionscript.

(when the swf is reloaded into the browser, there are no problems with the looping)

how can i stop this?
