i cannot seem to find any tutorial around this…

when i click the next button, a new photo begins preloading (showing a loadbar or similar) _WHILE_ the current photo is still in sight… after loading is complete loadbar and current photo fade out and the new photo fades-in in glorious color…

something like the one used in [http://www.innov8media.net/portfolio-page/client—warrnambool-motorcycle-club.php](http://www.innov8media.net/portfolio-page/client---warrnambool-motorcycle-club.php)
