loadMovie not loading movie

[telekin]

Ok, I have this script in a frame on the main stage:

nineties = new Array("/x90s/x90s_01.swf", "/x90s/x90s_02.swf", "/x90s/x90s_03.swf", "/x90s/x90s_04.swf", "/x90s/x90s_05.swf", "/x90s/x90s_06.swf","/x90s/x90s_07.swf","/x90s/x90s_08.swf");
NumberofMovies = 8;
loadMovie (nineties[random(8)], _root.pisces_90s);
loadMovie ("/elements/water.swf", "pisces_swirl_90s");
stop ();

The 'x90s_xx.swf' is a randomly placed movie with a shaped hole cut out of it, in order to view the 'water.swf' through underneath. Without the 'water.swf' movie loading i am left with a blank screen.

I have similar script on three frames prior to this (60s, 70s and 80s, would you believe). The sixties ALWAYS loads but the rest are very erratic, except if I use right click>play to forward to the next decade (suggesting that it is not the command from that specific decade and rather the 60s command that is still loaded).

I have changed:

loadMovie ("/elements/water.swf", "pisces_swirl_90s");

to:

loadMovie (elements/water.swf, _root.pisces_swirl_90s);

also, but to no avail.

I know this probably isn't the best explained thread in existence but I would appreciate any sort of feedback regarding this problem, whether it be help or request for further info.

Ta!

Try this:

loadMovie ("elements/water.swf", "_root.pisces_swirl_90s");

if not, post the code of the sixties.....

Hmmm, I did that and it worked straight away on the 90s, so I applied EXACTLY the same principles to the other frames, yet still had the same problem.

Whether it's a problem exporting or that something is caching the thing somewhere I don't know .

All I know is that it is frustrating the arse off of me.

Code for the seventies:

seventies = new Array("/x70s/x70s_01.swf", "/x70s/x70s_02.swf", "/x70s/x70s_03.swf", "/x70s/x70s_04.swf", "/x70s/x70s_05.swf");
NumberofMovies = 5;
loadMovie (seventies[random(5)], _root.pisces_70s);
loadMovie ("elements/water.swf", "_root.pisces_swirl_70s");
stop ();

Code for the nineties:

nineties = new Array("/x90s/x90s_01.swf", "/x90s/x90s_02.swf", "/x90s/x90s_03.swf", "/x90s/x90s_04.swf", "/x90s/x90s_05.swf", "/x90s/x90s_06.swf","/x90s/x90s_07.swf","/x90s/x90s_08.swf");
NumberofMovies = 8;
loadMovie (nineties[random(8)], _root.pisces_90s);
loadMovie ("elements/water.swf", "_root.pisces_swirl_90s");
stop ();

The nineties works and the seventies doesn't. It's nothing to do with instance names or anything like that. Though I wish it was.

Why don't you send me the fla and i take a look at it. Maybe the problem is in another piece of code.
