Do you have sprites with scripts on Frame 1?

Because you shouldn't. Ever. There is a long standing bug (feature??)
that makes things run out of order sometimes. Scripts on frame 1 will
sometimes run their beginSprite handler before startMovie runs. This
can cause all sorts of mayhem.

oh really? bummer, errrm i think theres a beginsprite on a few objects on frame
1, and a go to the frame holder on it, should i just move everything back 1
frame (everything with a script on) so they dont run on frame 1?

From: Mike Blaustein on
I typically have NOTHING on frame 1 at all apart from a non-scripted
background graphic.

So, yes. Move as much as you can off of frame 1 and see if the problem
is mysteriously fixed.

I typically use the 'on prepareMovie' handler instead of 'on startMovie'
to compensate for this quirk.

Mike, Dave,

What bug?

I have been developing with Director for over 10 years with sprites and behaviors on frame one with never a problem.
