Hi Mauricio, Thanks for that info. I never do put any sprites in frame 1 but have been burned by not remembering the event order during inter-movie navigation and I think that's what I ulitmately wanted to point out that it is not just a frame 1 issue but a _first_ frame issue and event order

Hi list, I am having a bit of a weird problem. I have a large movie file that's nearly entirely script driven. For some reason the on startmovie handler is being called twice. (discovered using a put command) I have searched the movie high and low for any erroneous scripts that may be making

Well don't just restrict this to frame 1. As I mentioned in an earlier e-mail, and have now tested to confirm.. _movie.go(frameNum, movie) will have the same results in the frame you are jumping to even if it isn't frame 1. It all comes down to order of events... so is this a bug or expected

And since timeout objects get system calls as timeout object generated in the beginsprite event would exist when the startMovie call is sent out and if the timeout object does not specifically trap for a startMovie call that gets passed along to the movie script. The result is 2 startMovie

It can't be a bug because bug that has existed since version 4.0 would have been fixed by now 8) The problem is not simple... On frame 1 Director initializes the sprites while the player is still paused, and this changes the expected chain of events that some asset Xtras (3rd party or internal
