state of the cast member and keeps the playhead looping in the current frame until the movie
finishes loading into memory.

on exitFrame
if member("Intro Movie").percentStreamed < 100 then
put("Current download state:" && member("Intro Movie").state)
_movie.go(_movie.frame)
end if
end

var intSt = member("Intro Movie").percentStreamed;
if (intSt < 100) {
