Delaying a loaded movie

I’m making an image gallery that has an MC as a background that resizes itself due to the size of the image. How can I use the loadMovie function when the button is pressed it will resize the background to the size THEN display the loaderMC that will load the image.

How can I achieve this effect? I’m wanting to use the reusable MC (from Kirupa tutorials) or something that will load the image and show a status bar for the loading. Anyone know of a Tut to achieve this?

I think there was a post on a file like this, but I can’t seem to find it? Anyone know?
