Thanks for your prompt reply, Dan!
The "downsampled" piece is here:

It's very subtle, but it's definitely not good enough to show off the
work featured.
I'll be trying in your suggestions tonight.
Thanks,

Hi John,
Have you sorted this yet? Someone else here might have a better clue
of what's going on, but as there's no posts yet...
Your code samples don't include enough to work out the low res
picture example (have you got an online example of that happening?)
or do not include the button code (are they applied from the root or
directly to the buttons?). But at a guess all of these issues seem
to be based on timings and when various things are being initiated...
I'm guessing this because moving the code around/ adding a preloader
seem to effect the final output.
Why not try, continuing with the external preloader. Then adding a
number of traces on the buttons to confirm when they are coming into
existence using clipEvent or similar. Then work back from that using
similar traces to make such functions are available, and movieClips
needed for those functions etc...
It usually ends up being something simple like a missing stop() at
the movie beginning, or functions initiating before assets are
available.

This is my first post. I'm John. I've been playing with Flash for
a few years now, and after getting a gig, I actually have to follow
through with these ideas for once. Here's my situation, which
consists of two problems:
It works very nicely - the percentage goes up, the image fades, and
all is well...until the main.swf comes in. None of the buttons
work, and I'm stuck.
I tried playing with the image_mcl.loadClip depths, but the buttons
still don't respond!
This is what I mean:

Thanks in advance for any help on this, really...I can't sleep
until I figure this one out!!!
