I am trying to create a simple preloader. I can get the preloader to work, but when my main page loads, the buttons on my menu bar do not work.

The menu bar is a movie clip in which each buttons loads a new swf EG:  
stop();  
loadMovieNum(“home.swf”,0);

I have tried several variations of simple preloaders, and the issue isn’t my ability to create it - it’s getting my menu bar to work with it. My main page originally had just one frame, with 3 layers. 1 layer for the background, 1 layer for the movie clip (menu), 1 layer for a logo button that sits on top of the background.

Has anyone had a similar problem, or know what the conflict might be? Thanks in advance.
