hello-

I am building a portfolio disk with the awesome photo gallery AS from here. This will be run from a cd and I want to preload the images in the arrays to keep everything smoooooth. I am building on current machine. When I tested a disc image on an older machine the transitions were slooooow. I figure preloading would defeat this. Is there AS to accomplish this or is it something simple like hiding the images somewhere on the timeline and using a normal preloader? TIA and happy Monday, y’all are great.

it’s probably not slow because it is loading slow, it’s probably just because there is too much going on for the processor to handle. preloaders probably won’t fix it ☹
