I’m making a flash guestbook-and asp. I’ve been thinking of ways of possibly data retrieval; the amount of entries can range from a handful to 100’s; they are all stored in a database. At any rate, I’ve been wondering about efficiency- how should i go about loading/reloading entries?

Possiblities:  
-Preloading all entries into arrays.  
-Preloading all entries into variables.  
-Loading Entries as they are clicked (via ASP).

any suggestions/comments are much appreciated :beam:
