Newbie to flash - plzzz help

this may seem like a real elementary problem, but again I am new to flash, so please bare with me. I am trying to create a nav bar, but am having issues with the button. when i put the movie clip in the down state (which I thought was correct) you have to hold down on the mouse for the flash to work, rather than just a simple click. am I missing something? I have attached the .fla file, please any seasoned vets -- HELP!

If you havnt already gotten help, then heres whats wrong.

inside your button, on the "up" frame, you have a text box and a shape.
on the "over" frame, you have the same thing.
on the "down" frame, the frame that makes stuff happen when you press the button, you have a movie that contains the progress bar, etc.

whenever you press the button and hold it, you say it works.
Why? because you button is on the "down" frame, where the movie clip that shows the progress is at.

when you let go, the button automatically goes to the "up" frame, where there is no more movie clip, therefore, the progress stops and nothing more happens. to get rid of this upsetting problem, you need to use actionscript.
