Just from the top of my head here, so excuse if anything is wrong
but couldn't you put at the end of the preload animation something like
stop();
if (getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal()){
play();
} else {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal()){
delete this.onEnterFrame
play ();
}
}

A preloader by definition is a short, small movie that loops endlessly

You're describing a movie that wants to end when it reaches its last
frame. What does it have to do with the load process? You cannot
guarantee which will end first, the movie or the load, so you need to
know what you want to happen in either case depending on which event
happens first.
