Anyone got some code/file/tips for creating a file to load a low resolution version of an image, then, once that has loaded begin loading the high resolution version. Once the high resolution version is loaded, it fades up over the low res pic

hope this makes sense to someone.

cheers in adv.

well, i guess you could just load both movies into empty movie clips that are stacked on top of one another. Just make the high res version the top one. Then you can have flash delete the lower one when the loading is complete.
