Theres the link to the site I'm currently working on. When I devised this site on my cpu there were no issues, it ran perfectly, the exteral .swf files with the loadmovie command worked like a charm.

However, once it was placed on the server the movie gets to the last frame where a stop(); command does exist, but it automatically loops back to the start and replays.

However once one runs the link a few time it eventually ends up working (to some extent). Revisit the site a few times and let it run 7-10 times not a big file so it won't take long. Then the Home page and menu bar will show.

However, then when one clicks a link to a new page it fails again and reloads the main movie instead of the movie for the empty container. But once again if one visits the .swf file specifically (http://www.arcsquared.com/Test/Contacts.swf or
http://www.arcsquared.com/Test/fullspectrum.swf or
http://www.arcsquared.com/Test/About.swf and/or
http://www.arcsquared.com/Test/Services.swf)

and then reload the main page as stated at the top of this post it seems to work. I can't understand why this is... But any help would be greatly appreciated. My guess is that the server is running the main .swf but when it looks for the .swf of the container for some odd reason it can't read that name.

If the swf's are loaded externally into a movie clip and the stop(); command is placed in the external swf's (which appears to be the case) try



_root.stop();


instead
