Movie plays despite being stopped

Asked by letharion in Adobe Flash, ActionScript, Multimedia Programming

I have made a trivial password protection for a movie.
The movie is stopped and "removeChild"ed when the flash loads, and upon entering the correct password, the movie is re-added and begins playing. This works well in the editor, and locally, but as soon as I upload this to a remote server, two problems show up:
1) The movie runs from the beginning.
2) The playback controls go missing despite the files being uploaded in the same hierachy as when tested.

Below is the very trivial code that I use.

      passwordBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, inputHandler);
    }
