browsers crash when loading the swf!

Question

Hi all

using Mac OSX. Safari, FireFox and Opera sometimes crash when
opening this page:

http://annetteberrydesign.com/index_content_new.php

sometimes they don't crash... It seems random, but they often
crash.

There is something wrong with the swf for sure:
the grey frame (grey lines) that draw at the beginning are
not displaying properly, although they 
are displayed properly in authoring mode. (in authoring mode,
two additional lines are drawn, but 
they are invisible in the published swf).

The browsers started crashing when I changed the publish
settings to flash version 8 (was previously 
flash version 6).

I can't figure out why these lines are invisible in the
published file, and why my browsers randomly 
crash when I open this page.

Has anyone experienced this before?...

the most common problems when going from 6 to 8, are:

1. and undefined variable (that's incremented or decremented)
2. a misspelling - myMC was the same as mymc in flash 6, but not in 8.

with a problem causing a browser crash look for an out-of-control loop (like a for-loop or while-loop) that may be creating objects.
