I’m using a simple for loop to download my server-side thumbs and display them. I can’t seem to get them to load one at a time (or in a specific order).  
They just plop down all at once.  
i tried using a setInterval that calls a loadThumbs function, but then only one thumb appears.

Does anyone know of any tuts that cover this or has anyone done this?
