[CS3][AS2] My code only works after a page reload in firefox 3

Well, regardless if this helps take the mcLoader out of the loop, what a waste:

System.security.allowDomain("http://www.translucidedesign.com");
var prefix = 'http://www.translucidedesign.com/kana/';

//1. Import base class
import mx.utils.Delegate;

//2. XMLLoader setup
var XMLLoader:XML;
XMLLoader = new XML();
XMLLoader.ignoreWhite = true;
XMLLoader.onLoad = Delegate.create(this,onObjectsLoaded);
XMLLoader.load(prefix+'domainebrossard.xml');

var mcLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = {};
mcLoader.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadInit = mcLoaded;

function onObjectsLoaded(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
        var nodes:Array = this.XMLLoader.childNodes[0].childNodes;
        var currentx = 10;
        var currenty = 10;
        var itemsxy = 76;
        var spacing = 10;
        var pictures:Array = new Array();
        var thumb = '';
        var picture = '';
        
        for (var i:Number = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
            thumb = nodes[i].attributes.thumb;
            picture = nodes[i].attributes.image;
            
            var thisObj:Object = new Object();
            thisObj.pic = picture;
            pictures[i] = thisObj;
            //trace(picture);
            attachMovie('photosquare','picturethumb'+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
            var thisPic = eval('picturethumb'+i);
            thisPic._x = currentx + (i%4)*(itemsxy+spacing);
            thisPic._y = currenty + (itemsxy+spacing)*Math.floor(i/4);
            
            //Movie clip loader for pictures...
            mc.itemsxy = itemsxy;
            mcLoader.loadClip(prefix+thumb, thisPic.pic);
            thisPic.btn.number = i;
            
            thisPic.btn.onPress = function() {
                if (_root.popup)_root.popup.removeMovieClip();
                _root.attachMovie('popup','popup',_root.getNextHighestDepth());
                _root.popup.number = this.number;
                _root.popup.loadPic(this.number);
                _root.popup._x = 200;
                _root.popup._y = 200;
            }
        }
        //trace('pictures : '+ pictures[0].pic);
        _root.pictures = pictures;
    } else {
        trace('Error reading XML');
    }
}

function mcLoaded(mc:MovieClip){
    mc._x = 0;
    mc._y = 0;
    mc._width = mc.itemsxy;
    mc._height = mc.itemsxy;    
} 

I didn't check it but this should function fine although I don't know that it will fix your problem. The code is fairly clean above otherwise so I don't know what could cause it and you should be capable of debugging this if you wrote that.

I believe onLoadInit fires in the scope of the mc so passing mc:MovieClip as a parameter is unnecessary? I forget. Good luck
