Are you sure you have your code right?
I don't know much about it but I can bet that's the problem...
Sorry I can't give you a good answer
someone has to know then ask to see the code...

Your code is riddled with silly mistakes. Also you forgot to convert your mask to an MC and call it rectMask_mc.

Here is your fixed code:

stop();
onEnterFrame = function():Void  {
	var loadedData:Number = _root.getBytesLoaded();
	var allData:Number = _root.getBytesTotal();
	var percent:Number = Math.round(loadedData/allData*100);
	rectMask_mc._yscale = percent;
	if (percent == 100) {
		gotoAndPlay(10);
		delete onEnterFrame;
	}
};

Happy birthday

Oh yea i forgot to give it the instance name!
