It sounds like you pretty much answered the question yourself. If your
movie is only 1 frame long, naturally it won't execute if you test for
frame 2. I'm not sure why you would want to check for frame 2, anyway.
For that matter, I'm not sure why you're checking for frame 1 if you
know that's where you'll always be. I'm afraid I also don't understand
what you're doing with the checkFrame handler, anyway. All it does is
remove itself, at least from the code you posted, so I don't
understand what the handler does.
A lot of AS3 movies are single-frame movies because AS3 lends itself
to OOP programming so well. I do a lot of enterFrame handling in my
movies, so it's not intrinsically bad.
Cordially,
