hi,
i was wondering if their was a way to load external files in advance and to integrate these in the loading progress of the flash file (in the beginning … you know, with a load bar)
i used and changed the photogallery of kirupa, and in the code i integrated a piece that positions every image depending of its size.
i put it in the tag where “if” says that the file has loaded completely and the fade in may start.
… wel, it works, but some times it doesn’t position well. just like the image ain’t loaded well. when you go to the next image and then go back it works.
:red:
if you want to see it, here’s the url
click on “assemblages”

I had this problem before mostly in IE, in Safari it worked well.
You can solve this with hardcoding (add in your images array heigth/width)
or (just came in mind) add this
[AS]if(this.photo.\_width!=null&&this.photo.\_height!=null){
//do this[/AS]
not tested but who knows;)
