Hey there,

This is the best example of what I’m trying to achieve:

> **[Three60](http://three60.com.au/)**
>
> Three60 is an award winning creative agency that is deeply invested in the strategy behind a message and passionately devoted to the craft in how it’s told.

This site loads in all of the large images behind the scenes, so once you click through a project, the images appear immediately.

I have a rough concept of how do to this, but I am very new to as3 so I was curious as to how others would approach this?

Thanks in advance.

Ben.
