More Preloading Issues

Hello.

I am having preloader issues! Inside the my preloader I have a movie clip which will repeat itself until the content is fully loaded and then of course the timeline will move on. The repeating clip simulates drops of water with a ripple effect in the pond below. My problem is that once the content is fully downloaded, the clip ends immediately and the timeline moves on. This looks terrible because the ripples in the pond need to fully dissapate in order to proceed seemlessly.

Once the content is fully downloaded, is there a way to allow the clip (if it is in the middle of playing) to play itself out before allowing the rest of the timeline to move on? The preloading script I am currently using can be found at:

If I need to use another script that would be fine with me. If this is too vague of a description, please let me know. Thank you for your help!
