That's close to the truth, I think. As a colleague of mine pointed out, objects on frame1 were already initialized before the constructor is executed while objects on another frame need some time (usually 1 frame) to become initialized as well.
So my solution will be to avoid gotoAndStops as much I can and work with single frame symbols.
