Step Three: The Preloader ActionScript

1. Select Frame 2 of the Layer: ActionScript
2. Add this code to that frame (if you wish you may leave out the gray code hints):
   
   // Get info on how much of the Movie has loaded so far and compare it to how much of the Movie has to be loaded
   if (this.getBytesLoaded()>=this.getBytesTotal()) {
   
   // If the Movie has fully loaded then go to and stop at the next frame
   gotoAndStop(3);
   
   // If the Movie hasn't fully loaded
   } else {
   
   // Then go back to frame 1 and play from frame 1 to check again
   gotoAndPlay(1);
   }
