It's probably not the best way to do it, but a very basic would be to create 5 frames (or more at the beginning of your movie). Then, if it was (say) 2000 frames long, in the first frame draw a 20% loaded bar and add the actionscript code (this probably isn't correct syntax but it's close):

Code:

if (!frameisloaded(400))
{
goto(1)
}

Then do similarly for frames 2 to 4. This will give you a basic loading bar.

There is a better way that bases it on data loaded, but I've never looked into the code for it.
