jpg loading trauma...

I've been working on a portfolio site, within this site are 12 sets of jpg images.

The portfolio section calls the images in at run time based on variables containing the set number and number of images etc for the selected set. The first image is loaded into a container clip which has a preload script attached, once the image has loaded the container clip is duplicated and moved off stage. The next image loads into the duplicate and so on until all the images are loaded.

A navigation system is then used to reposition the images on the stage relative to their size as each one is selected (moving the previous one back off stage).

This all works fine and dandy, the problem arises when you exit the portfolio section and then try to view the same set of images again... it doesn't work, or it works partly but loads only some of the images. Any Ideas what could cause this?

Do the movie clips die when the playhead is removed from the frame containing the portfolio movie clip? Do I need to write a cleanup script to remove them? or is this a caching problem... I am a bit lost
