Animate: Animation doesn't follow path guide

[AJN15A9]

I have a very simple animation of object inside a movieclip object
I would like to make it move along a path with:

- at the start frame: this.play();
- in the middle(for testing only): this.stop()
- At the end : this.gotoAndPlay("start");

I placed the movie clip in the main timeline and it looks good when I move the cursor in the timeline, BUT not when redering in browser, it follows a straight line

Am I missing something?

nothing you described would cause that, and copying the steps you described work fine: http://www.kglad.com/Files/forums/guide.html (click the ball to have it continue on its path).
