Hi,

I’ve tried searching for my question but all it brings up are preloader posts…

I’ve a slideshow with about 20 images. Right now, the call to LoadClip is executed whenever the user clicks on the thumbnail of the image. Otherwise, the movie just sits there waiting for the onRelease event to load the next image… My question is:

Is there a way to load ahead the all images one by one while still giving the user access to the flash movie - so that it becomes possible that the user won’t experience any load delay at all…

thanks
