whew this would be a whole lot of work man..

make sure you have this clip on frame one then for testing purposes on frame 2 import a heavy graphics so that you could simulate the actual loading of your site..

1. create a dynamic text box give it a variable name >loader

2. convert your textbox to a movie clip name your movie clip >loader clip

3. on your root timeline select your movie clip then fire up the actions panel

4. type this code

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
percentLoaded = int((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()) * 100);
loader = percentLoaded + " % loaded";
}

5. press control+enter then on the view menu select Bandwidth profiler.

6. to simulate your loader your have to press control+enter twice

this is a simple one but hope it helped you..
