That's the loading script i use.

// Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;

// Stop the playhead while loading occurs
this.stop();

//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);

/* This is the main function, basically it grabs the total and loaded bytes,
calculates a percentage, and displays it by stretching the bar and adjusting
the textfield display. */
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var percent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
// Loading Bar progress
    mc_LBar.scaleX=percent/100;
// Display the % loaded in textfield
    LText.text=int(percent)+"%";
// Loading complete
    if(percent==100){
    this.gotoAndPlay("Start");
    }
}
