Yeah, I guess I left off some information there. I abandoned that
approach some time ago. What I have currently:

lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
spider._y = percentLoaded * 6;
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
  if (count>=12) {
    gotoAndPlay("main");
  } else {
    count++;
    gotoAndPlay("preload");
  }
} else {
  gotoAndPlay("preload");
}

seems to be the closest to what I've been trying for, except for the
fact that while the loader bar (which has no other code than what's on
the timeline (above) works fine, only only thing that I see of the
spider is the web it's dangling on for a brief second after the loader
hits 100% - even though the spider is originally position off the top
of the page. ?
