I am working on a simple one scene flash file, that contains a lot of animated
objects. Soon after playing the swf in a browser there is an unwanted pause
before the swf continues to play. There is no actionscript associated with the
frame.

I took away the AS to remove the stop at the end, so now it loops to the
beginning. After the swf goes through a second time there are no pauses...
could it be a caching issue?

Anybody have a clue or some ideas of what I should look at?

Thanks!

It probably is caching. I use this to stop a forward button (next) from turing
on until the movie is fully loaded:
you might need to look for "getBytesLoaded" elsewhere in the forums to find
your application of it...

if (_root.loader.getBytesLoaded() == _root.loader.getBytesTotal()) {
stop();
_root.next.gotoAndStop("on");
}
