…because it just won’t die, here is some more AS2 for you.

stop();
function playClip(){gotoAndPlay(2)};
function newPrct()
{
	var prct:Number = Math.floor( ( this.getBytesLoaded() / this.getBytesTotal() ) * 100 );
	( prct == 100 )?playClip():setTimeout( function(){newPrct();},250 );
}
newPrct();

I go into more detail after the jump.

// stop the movie before it starts.
stop();

// simple go to this frame and play function
function playClip(){gotoAndPlay(2)};   

// set the variable for PERCENT
var prct:Number = 0;

// the function to check the percentage loaded.
function newPrct()
{
	// find the PERCENT by dividing loaded by total bytes.
	prct = Math.floor( ( this.getBytesLoaded() / this.getBytesTotal() ) * 100 );

	// trace out the PERCENT
	trace( "\t"+prct );

/*
	simple IF / ELSE -
	if PERCENT is 100, play the "playClip" function
	or run this function again in a quarter of a second.
*/
	( prct == 100 )?playClip():setTimeout( function(){newPrct();},250 );
}

// start it off!
newPrct();
