That's a great idea! I zipped up the entire folder and uploaded it here: www.bruzed.com/testcases/eLesson player copy.zip (it's 12mb) There are 2 xmls, one for testing in flash and one for testing in the browser...this is because of the folder structure. Just to forewarn you, the script might be a bit of a mess..this is only my second AS project :) Thanks for your help!

The problem with working in flash versus using browsers is the timing. I have had issues just between the timing of how a movie loads for a different browser, and as you are experiencing it drove me pretty mad. I guess I am lucky as I have access to a mac and a pc which in cases like this make it a bit easier to get to the _root of the issue.......(pun intended) Can you post this somewhere where I could test it real quick? as without looking at your code it is pretty tough to guess where exactly the issue is and to at least see it might be helpful.
