Hi All.

I been creating an XML SlideShow and works all ok. However, I wanted to preload the images before playing the slideshow to avoid jump offs (currently having). I found some scripts but only for AS2 - tried loading the AS2 and works ok (all preloaded) BUT, the XML should be a variable. I tried almost everything - flashVars (conflicts/do not work), swfBridge (no good), localConnections (no luck).

The only solution I wish for now is if its possible to do it in AS2 preloading images, I think somebody already had this solution before.

I a bit new to AS3 so I hope someone has already encountered this issue and found a good solution. :crying:

Kind regards
