How can I create a preloader which does this? I have seen many examples of code to load an external swf, but never something that loads itself.
Thanks for the help, this is driving me crazy...

It's really simple. First you need to move everything except the preloader off the first frame.
Everything else is basically the same as an external preloader - the only difference is that you're checking the current and total size of the current movie, rather than a separate one.

What's your existing code for an external preloader?

As a reference, here's the first result I got with a quick google for "AS3 Preloader": http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=151850

Doesn't work unfortunately, upon loading it shows "1" in the textfield and the "bar" doesn't change size.

alternatively ... You can try FlashDevelop's Preloader template, makes it really easy
