Hi,  
I have a swf as the header of one of my web pages. Is there a way to make the rest of the content (usually a single jpeg) load first. I think for a low speed connection viewers have to wait a while for the header to finish before they can see anything else. Any ideas on how to do this?  
THanks,

Zac

you can do it with javascript - a simple preloading script should work nicely…

Hmmm, I didnt even think of that I was more worried about changing the flash file. You mean a script that will load the jpeg first like:

\<!–if (document.images){ pic1= new Image(500,325); pic1.src=“[http://wherever.com/image1.jpg](http://wherever.com/image1.jpg)”; }//–\>
