Inconsistant Actions

I have created a web site that works sometimes, and not others. The webiste is
a portfolio site and has several pages. The problem is that when you enter the
site, and go to the 'graphic portfolio' section. Once you are there, if you try
to go to the other pages, such as 'web' or 'resume' it will show you one of the
pages under the 'graphic portfolio' If it always did that then I would assume
there is problem in the button action script. But if you stay in the site and
continue to click around like normal. The page begins to work correctly and all
buttons work as they should. The other thing is that it doesnt do this all of
the time. Say if you visit the site 10 times, it'll will not work in the
begininng maybe 4 out of the 10 times. The rest it works perfect. I have
deleted and re-built the site already and the same problem continues. Any Help?
The site is

If you would like to see the flash file, I can send it to you.
In desperate need of help...

No, the actions are consistent, it's your loading that isn't. You are trying
to visit sections of your site that haven't actually loaded yet (Flash being
a streaming media).

You need a pre-loader so that this doesn't happen (do a search here or
google groups or flashkit - there's plenty of examples).

A word of advice - 1.5 megs is HUGE for a home page. This is because you are
loading all your content at the start. You should look at loading as small a
'home' as possible, then loading the relevant section when your user visits
it.
