parent talking to child fails some of the time?

Hi All,

Have others found that sending a value (stored in a variable) from a parent (main timeline) to a child (movie clip) fails some of the time but only when the movie is running as a .swf (it never fails when testing in authoring)?

My main timeline's actionscript has:

XYZ_ChildMC.variableA = false; //parent talks to child movie clip

In the child MC script:

import fl.video.*; var variableA; function completeHandler(e: fl.video.VideoEvent): void {      if (variableA == false)           {              myFLV.seek(0);              myFLV..play();           } }

This seems to fail about 5% of the time when running/rerunning the .swf in a browser.

Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks
