'...this preloader does not wait until the entire movie has finished loading.'

As with any .swf you are loading, you can preload as much or as little content as you want.

You could create an MC with a two frame loop that checks the current frame of the load movie 'container' which resides on the main timeline:

In this case, the timeline I'm targetting, with the variables is one level up from where the FF button is. I tried something like this:
