I would like to use animateFlourish.fla (see attached file) as a percentage loader in the first frame of a movie where the beginning of the animateFlourish animation equals 0% of frames loaded and the end of the animation equals 100%.

I have tried the percentage preloaders tutes here on Kirupa and on Senocular; but, none of them work.

So far, I have been able to get the animateFlourish.fla to work as a preloader; but, it keeps replaying the animation until the frames have loaded: [http://mypaintedtrails.com/newsite/](http://mypaintedtrails.com/newsite/) I would like it to play once timing the animation with the % of loaded frames.

Can someone help me to do this?

MUCH, MUCH thanks!
