AS3 stop(); on first frame

Tags: ADobe, Flash, CS3, ActionScript 3
I am creating a pretty complex application in Flash CS3 with ActionScript 3, and on several MovieClips I place a stop() command on the first frame to keep the playhead from advancing once the MovieClip appears. On some of the MovieClips, this stop command works. However, on about half of the other MovieClips, the stop command does not work. stop commands on the rest of the MovieClip do work. I am seeing this behavior on different machine, Mac OS X and Windows, so I know this must be another one of those beloved Flash quirks. Has anyone else experience this behavior? If so, how can I fix it?

Wow, I knew that would work, but I can't believe the first two solutions didn't work. Just from my few weeks of trying to convert from AS2 to AS3, I can see that AS3 doesn't appear to be too stable. There are even more wierd issues than with AS2, and that's saying a lot.
