Hey Everyone-  
I have created this XML image viewer from multiple sources and Scotty’s help ;). I have run into a problem where my thumbnails I load are quite large .swfs…and I need to preload them all until I run the grid\_maker\_01 function to display them. I have tried many things…but still am having a problem. I need to preload all the thumbs first, THEN display them. Can someone take a look? Thanks in advance…

The file can be found at this previous thread:
