Answer 1

Here is the code.Create a movie clip and call it logo_mc    Inside that movie clip insert a text field.  Make it dynamic.  then lable it percent.  This will create a nice preloader.  Do not put this code in your current project.  Create a new file.  change "http://www.buttonbeats.com/images/pianonewSounds.swf" to the address of your flash app.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("http://www.buttonbeats.com/images/pianonewSounds.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    logo_mc.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString()+"%";
function done(e:Event):void
//    for(var i:uint = 0; i < numChildren;i++){
//        trace("CHILD:"+getChildAt(i).name);        
    removeChildAt(0); 
    addChild(l); 
    var movie:* = l.content; 
    movie.play();
