This code should work fine, make an empty movieclip and attach this code to it.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(\_root.getBytesLoaded () \> 0 && \_root.getBytesLoaded() == \_root.getBytesTotal() )  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“beginMovie”);  
}else{  
loaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
total = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
percent = int(loaded/total \* 100)  
//Scales the bar to percent, which has to have getBytesLoaded()  
bar.\_xscale = percent;  
}  
}  
Post again if you need help.

Good Luck

right seen as im pretty sick of loader questions i kinda know it  
ucn get a component from [http://www.flashcomponents.net](http://www.flashcomponents.net) called loader install it create a new movie import ur movie to the libary drag ur movie over 1 frame create a new layer called preloader in th first frame of preloader add the loader by draging it on to the stage press ctrl+enter twice to view it
