I am sorry all, after 2 days of intense head scratching I just now found out
myself what the problem was.
it has nothing to do with the loadmovie action as I had first thought.
for others who experience similar problems, I will explain how I fixed mine:
the image_mc's I load pjgs into are masked. image_mc were placed at _x = -50
(this I did to center the image in the mask). now, apparantly macs didnt
quite like this. I tried manually moving the image_mc to _x = 0 just for the
heck of it. and now it shows all images.
I guess it turns out that all images were loaded, they just werent shown...
well, that is, some of them were and some of them wont... with no apparant
pattern it seems.
so in short, if you experience the same:
if your image is being loaded into a masked movieclip make sure it is
positioned at _x = 0 (or perhaps with the same _x as the mask) , else it
might perform oddly on macs.
all 60 images now load perfectly, without preloaders, loader classes or
anything.
I thank eric and others that may have answered me and apologize if I have
wasted anyones time.
thanks!

it works on pc's, but not on macs (neither ie or safari)
that is to say: it loads all images instantaneously on pc's, but on macs
it
only loads a few of them, however many of them seem to pop up a while
later
(like minutes later). the mac doesnt show signs of stress in the whole
process.
I have tried several different preloaders, bokel's loader class, even
checking numerous times if one image is loaded before loading the next...
and none of it seems to work on the mac.
does anyone have a guess what might cause the peculiar behaviour?
(dont mind the buttons in the bottom they are not working properly yet).
thank you!
