I was taking a look at t[his great site](http://www.formatum-inc.com/) at the link interior Design.

how it´s done that gallery? I noticed that the pictures are loaded in order, before they are asked to be shown.  
When the user clicks on the number of the image, it has already been loaded by the swf.

Does anyone has any idea?  
Thanks

Preloading? It doesn’t seem that special. When you access the first image, the script starts loading the next ones but doesn’t show them to you until you click them. It’s just basic preloading.

I usually use Betriebsraum’s queueLoader for this sort of stuff ([http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/downloads/](http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/downloads/))

But does it work for preloading all the pictures of the gallery in order?  
thanks for the reply…

it does if that’s how you write it. You can preload in order, or you can constantly adjust your queue based on where the user is clicking, hell, even based on where he points his mouse cursor. Loading in order is the easier way though.

Have you preloaded an external file like a JPG before?
