Hey Minty,
Yes, I concur, this is happening in SW/PC/IE, haven't tested
it in any other environment. Don't know if you saw Colin Holgate's
related post, here's the salient section:

seems to me that the xtra does have a few interesting 'features
and opportunities', and that explicitly calling pause() or stop(),
may be a workaround in some cases. I actually fixed my problem
by reconfiguring the logical structure of the movie... but that's
another story. How long before a flash5 xtra is available I wonder?
cheers
Jon
