Problem with SWF playback in Director 11.5

hello, have rather vexing problem can't seem wrap head around, nor find mention of in docs or google.

 

i have video file imported (swf) , have simple behaviour set when user clicks button, jumps 10 seconds forward in video. using script make happen:

 

    currentframe = sprite(5).frame + 150

    sprite(5).gotoframe (currentframe)

 

the video 14 minutes long, , runs @ 15fps.

 

the 'skip forward 10 seconds' button works perfectly, until reach 10 minutes (9000 frames). @ point pressing button causes video start playing beginning. heres weird bit: if *don't* press button, , let video play, continues past 10 minute mark no issues. @ point after 10 minutes if click button, video rewinds beginning.

 

the property inspector cast member shows contains 9000 frames, consistant sprite(5).framecount reports. video contains *more* 9000 frames, director able play them. have tried continuously polling sprite using sprite(5)frame see whats happening, , if let video play without skipping forward, reports frames past 9000 no problem.

 

i aware of 16000 frame limitation on flash video, have run against before, can't seem find mention of 9000 frame limitation, or 10 minute duration limitation, or of sort.

 

looping mode off member, , have tried dts on , off, , have turned off other scripts in movie. , yet anomalous behaviour persists. insight/suggestions appreciated, against deadline. prepared break file 2 parts if necessary, avoid various reasons.
