Hi All,

Got some weird stuff happening on macs (seems all browsers, OS variations
etc).. I have built a simple menu/nav swf piece in my website. In the swf i
have links to the pages in any given section. When a person goes to a page i
pass a url var into the flash movie that will advance the play head to a
point in the timeline to indicate the down state for the section they are
in.

following ??

ok the problem is that on the macs the variable seems to be ignored, and the
menu will ignore my action script (see below) on frame 2 of my movie. Tho if
i refresh the page again the menu usually sorts itself out.

AS on frame 2:
if (_root.frameName == VOID) {
 //do nothing and animate the menu
}
if (_root.frameName == 1) {
   gotoAndPlay("2");
}
if (_root.frameName == 2) {
 gotoAndPlay("3");
}

After clicking thru the site, things generally come good.. but i cant expect
my users or managers to be happy with that solution. Would a preloader help
(files are about 8k)? What i think is happening is that perhaps the swf
hasnt loaded the correct frame in the timline when the AS tries to jump to
that frame etc.

Has anyone seen anything similar?.. i can provide a url/fla if that helps..

TIA

Jason
