Aaargh - Flash Recurrsion Problem - $25 for solution! - GoFuckYourself.com

I am working on a monster of a site, flash movies within flash movies within flash movies, and I've run into a recurrsion problem that I just can't solve. Unfortunately I can't post the site or any files, but whoever gives me advice that leads to a solution will get $25 paypal or epassporte.

I have 4 main "holder" movie clips that I load subsequent movie clips in.

When a menu button is pushed, all 4 movieclips have the "movieClip.unloadMovie();" command run, then the new movie clips are loaded via "movieClip.loadMovie("movie name");".

There are 3 different menu options. If 1 is selected then 2 then 3, no problems, everything runs fine. If 3 is selected, then 2, then 1, no problems. The only problem is if 2 is selected first, then 3 the movie crashes. If 1 is selected first it takes care of the problem, only if 2 is the first menu option selected when loading the movie and the 3 is selected right after it does the site crash.

The error:

256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.

256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.

I know this isn't a lot of information, but any advice would be appreciated (and will be rewarded!)

Thanks!
