Timing a movie clip to a loadbar??

[RTLdan]

Hello,
I'm relatively new at all this flash stuff. I've read quite a few tutorials online, but I haven't found anything yet to answer my question about this.
Basically what I'm trying to do, is have a loadbar with a custom graphic above it. I want the graphic to slowly load in (as the load bar is loading) from each side (left and right) until it completes the graphic in the center. I can build a loadbar fine, but I'm perplexed as to how I might time the graphic (which I assume would really be a movie itself) to the loadbar, so that when the loadbar finishes, the graphic is also finished loading.
I'm sorry if this is really basic!!
I just can't figure it out for the life of me!
All help would be immensely appreciated!
Thanks!
-Daniel

Scale masking movie clips (over your graphic), based on the same percentage as the loadbar.
