Thanks to all who pitched in!
Everyone who put up with my insanity on this has been so completely
helpful.  Because I've needed
to put so much energy into this ONE process, I feel, for the first time in
all these months of learning
how to do a real site in Flash that I'm actually LEARNING ActionScript!!!

The final issue was resolved by Jayson K Hanes...

What was happening was this:

Go to a page - run Cold Fusion script to pull dynamic content from database

Get the variables and call that process _root.CFresponse

If variables are loaded, say OK

Put the variables into an instance called  _root.txtField.records

If so, load an empty target text field movie clip (txtField)

So I had a txtField and it had the resulting variables in it.  //Cool -
page displays...

Then on clicking another page's button,  I was unloading the text field
movieclip
and starting the whole process over again, just calling a different .cfm
file each time.

The problem with this was MANYFOLD... however, essentially, if I understand
this
clearly now - While my button action was getting rid of the text field, the
variables
that were being loaded were never "unloaded" before going to the next
page... and so the
code that was saying "yo - if the variables exist, show this new page...
Except OF COURSE
the variables still existed - I'd never DELETED the variables anywhere.

So this simple line of code
DELETE _root.cfResponse

THAT's ALL it took.  DOH!  Sucker works perfectly every time now, and for
every page!

Now I get to figure out all the REST of the things I want to do on the site
that I haven't yet learned!

Eventually, after I can finally deliver this project to the client, I'll go
back in and take my time to refine
how I do EVERYTHING, reduce my code, create one or more functions...

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!
