I just posted something into the flash cs3 forum and can’t figure out how to delete it so please forgive me for sort of double posting
I currently have my photography website load all the images with javascript once the user arrives at the flash page (www.julianwalter.com/flash.html), that way they can click around within galleries and all the photos appear with a smooth transition and there is no wait time. however, if all the images are still being loaded and the user clicks one that hasn’t loaded yet, then the image won’t appear on screen until the javascript arrives at that file.
so I realized the best thing to do would be try to load all the images in a gallery when the user clicks on that gallery name.
I’ve tried searching for ‘preloading’ but all that shows up are the preloader bars that I don’t care about. I just want to find a way to bring these images from a specific gallery in so that they are ready to go when the user clicks on a thumbnail. I’m sure it’s just a loadMovie("") type thing into a non-visible movie clip, but I can’t seem to make anything work.
can anybody help me?
thank you so much!
