I am working on a thumbnail system. The thumbnails need to be able to load external images, so I created an instance of Loader inside each one. The problem is that, if I create several at once, all the Loaders try to load at once, and most fail. If I put them on a timer, to slow down the effect, some still fail.

If I had, say, 15 images that I need to load in externally, at the same time, what would be the best way to do it?
