Hi,
I recently got a slideshow working on my site, http://www.selectdigitals.com. The show is based on the tutorial, [COLOR=#003366]Photo Gallery[/COLOR][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366][SIZE=2]*** Using XML and Flash*** and the code for my show is essentially the same as in the tutorial. I particularly like the display of each image as the initial download takes place as this insures that viewers do not have a long wait for all of the images to download before the show starts.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[COLOR=#003366]I would very much like to add some kind of image preloader for the initial image download so that, as the current image is being displayed, the next image could be downloaded for display after the first image display interval expired. That would mean that there would likely be no delay between images even on the first cycle through the images. On my broadband connection, there is about a 3 second download delay from the server for each image. Since my display interval is something like 15 seconds, there would be plenty of time to preload the next image even on a substantially slower connection.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#003366]Does anybody have any ideas as to the best way to go about this? I have FLASH8.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#003366]Thanks in advance,[/COLOR]
