I'm working on a project and I wanted to have a short looping background animation while there are functional buttons in the foreground. I figured this would be simple but my problem is I have to sacrifice one or the other. When I code in stop(); to get my button to stay still- the animation stops. I get that part. When I comment out stop();, nothing works. The third option is to take the button out altogether for the animation to work, and clearly that's not what I want.

I know this is basic, and after looking at some preloaders in flash animations on the web I know it can be done. Can someone help?

As for code, I'm using and required to work with Actionscript 3.
