in the seperate movie for the bars, use x,y to figure out where  
they need to be. simple trial and error will do, if nothing else  
strikes you as easier. 😉

you made this a lot harder than necessary. 🙂

basically, you should have 3 different movies to play 1 song.

1. the butttons & controls
2. the bars.swf
3. the song.swf

The buttons.swf loads the song.swf which has a preloader holding  
the word “loading” in it. Once it loads, song.swf loads bars.swf.  
the placement of these bars is easily gotten by making bars.swf  
the same stage size as buttons.swf, placing them in the  
appropriate postion…

whew! I hope you get this soon…😉
