If you're site is HTML, then this really shouldn't involve Flash at all
unless you intend on setting up a Flash MP3 player.
To do this in HTML/Javascript is very messy and not a great solution
out there. However, you could link to a page that has the embedded MP3
on the page and then the user should see some kind of control which
automatically displays the load progress of the file.
Ultimately, the way you're doing things - no, there's no way to show progress.
