I am developing a Flash program that pulls variables from a server via [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET). So that a user can login and the Swf displays with the variables that relate to that user. There are if statements that appear in frame 1. If a user meets a certain condition it will jump to a different frame in the application. However, when a user initially views the page (logins), it keeps going to a blank page. I confirmed that the .swf loads, because if you right click and play, it will play the .swf, which is not optimal. However, if you refresh at this point, then it will execute the if statements. My question is, why is it ignoring the if statements on that initial view? ---

Thanks for the tip randomagain. I think that is a lesson learned. I figured that’s what may be causing the problem. ---

I wonder also if it’s an IE issue? It seems to work fine in Firefox. It executes the if statement, but w/ IE, it ignores the if statements, until you hit refresh.
