FLASH: Problem with endless preloading loop

[Paul Gleason]

I'm having a problem with a preloader sequence.  It seems that on *some* 

Win98 and WinNT platforms (mix of browsers) the preload sequence continues 

to loop, even after the whole movie has loaded.  I can't duplicate this 

problem on any box I have access to- but I've gotten feedback on it from 

enough people to know it's a real problem.


Here's what I've tried.


I initially created a simple if/then:


If (_framesloaded=total_frames)

      Go to Next Frame

Else

      Go to and Play (2)

End If


Getting feedback that some people were experiencing an endless loop on 

preload, I added a variable, incremented it on each loop, (in an attempt to 

limit the loading sequence loop to five times) and changed the framesloaded 

logic to a "hard number":


Set Variable: "timeslooped" = timeslooped + 1

If (timeslooped>4)

      Go to Next Frame

End If

If (_framesloaded<25)

      Go to and Play (2)

End If



Still getting reports of problems.  Any ideas?
