Hey Grant,

Yeah, I experienced this very thing and changed MovieAsset to dispatch
"ASSETLOADCOMPLETE" only on the onInit() method not the onComplete().
I figured that there is no point in letting people know when the Movie
has loaded if it's not completely ready to use. Check out the latest
from SVN to see my change.

If this isn't what you are talking about, please explain further.
