The slick preloader

Ok... I've made a million preloaders in Flash. All of them find the percentage of a movie or image loaded and either tell the timeline to play the frame corresponding to that percentage number or they simply make a bar have the _xscale value corresponding to the percentage loaded.
My question is: How to I make the slick preloader which runs through the preload process smoothly, even if the movie or image loads RIGHT AWAY?? How can I have my users ALWAYS see a nice swift motion with the preloader whether the load time is 20 seconds or .05 seconds?

Instead of just setting the _xscale to the percentage loaded, make it so that the clip dynamically tweens to the spot.
look on ultrashock for the elastic menu. try tweaking that math equation and instead of designating a set size as it does, set it to the percent loaded.
i hope that makes sense.
