If you are using Flash 5, try following:

Create a dynamic text field and in the variable field type 'Percent' for example.

Insert following script to the first frame of your movie:

Percent = int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100) add "%";
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() != _root.getBytesTotal()) {
play ();
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("Movie");
}

"Movie" is a labeled frame.

Insert following script to the second frame:

gotoAndPlay (_currentframe-1);

that is what I did:

first frame:
Percent = int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100) add "%";
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() != _root.getBytesTotal()) {
play ();
} else {
gotoAndPlay 3;
}

second frame:
gotoAndPlay 1;

third frame: that is where my movie starts

I created a dynamic text with variable `percent` (text located in first and second frame)

finally I figured it out... but without your help I wouldn`t move...
thank you so much
