Hey. This is my first post and hopefully not the last. 😃  
I’ve started on a homepage in FMX04 and there are problems I can’t fix. So I hope you will help.

I have an array called ‘picture’ with 6 different picture names. Then I have 6 buttons. When you click ‘button0’ picture[0] is loaded into the mc ‘pictureHolder’. The picture shows up but it appears late so I want to preload the pictures before they get used, and show up right away when you press a button.
