I need some flash help!

I have a site that is in construction right now, actually it is in the testing phase. It is currently stored at http://www.jmjwebdesign.com My question is: The flash movie loads to play an introduction song, and then each instrument plays a song before navigating to its respective page. After this, the navigation is the same except for the introduction song. The problem is that everything works well in Netscape, but not in explorer. In explorer, once the user goes to a page from the main introduction, the next page works fine. After this, if the user wants to click on another page, explorer tells the user that the script is taking to long and ask if the user wants to abort. I don't know how to solve this. I am asking you guys for help. I know my problem can be solved by this forum, because it is the most professional and has the best in the business. Thanks for all of your help.

Also, I just found out. When a user navigates from the introduction page (intro song) to another, the second navigaiton bar loads fine. But when it is reloaded, there is a problem. It give the user the same message as before. This is only in explorer, not netscape. Thanks.

Brother Jose,

Checked it out on my Mac and I'm not getting the problem you mention.

However The flash movie is blinking white at regular intervals which leads me to guess the movie is looping and has an extra frame or something similar.

I think your problem could be related to the looping or the extra frame.

It works fine for me too in IE on Windows 98... My guess would be as good as doren's.

I am the type of person who will not let a computer beat me. And after spending some time with this problem, I think it works now. Could you guys visit the site again and tell me if there is anything wrong with the flash end of it. Thanks everyone for your time in helping me.

You ask a lot Jose...

Just jokin'

Jose,

It's still blinking. I empied my cache. To make sure its not loading from my disk. Maybe with the added weight of the songs it might blink as it loops from the first to the last frame.

I generally avoid having more than one frame per scene in flash movies if I can.
