[size=1][color=Purple]Hey all. I just tonight learned how to make a percentage preloader with a loading bar, as from this tutorial here:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)

It works fine, except for one thing. In the actual movie (a dressup doll) I have a graphic with buttons within it; the preloader seems to screw up my ActionScript.

What I mean is: In my doll, the graphic for the base has a number of buttons within it to change the skin and eye color of the base. These buttons worked perfectly until I added the preloader. I haven’t done anything else; in fact, after I got rid of the frames with the preloader the problem disappeared.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening/how I can fix it?

If you want to look at the .fla file and check out the actionscript, you can find them here:
