advanced preloader help

The preloader on this site seems to run through a complete animation before moving forward in the movie.

I am curious if there is something to how preloaders like this work.

Does each animation happen after a certain precent is loaded (in this example, when the squares turn green) or are they just animations that have nothing to do with the actual preloading?

Thank you very much.

I would say that each animation happens after a certain precent is loaded (or each of the parts are loaded i.e.:different containers).

You could, actually, have the animation with so many frames(let's say 5) and make it run
to next frame when (20% in this case) has loaded.
