I made a website with slideshows, the pic’s in the slideshows are loaded external. With a fast internet connection that works fine. But I get reactions from people with a dial-up that they can’t see the pic’s. The only thing I need is a way to preload all images so that the slideshow works smoothly. Is there a way of doing this using a loadbar ( not necessary, just as an extra 😉 ). I need to have this sorted out within 3 hours. Is there way to do this? Thnx in advance ---

where do you load you pics into, a level? or into a mc? and is your slideshow an extern .swf loaded in the main movie with the tutorial method? because if you use external .swf for your slideshow it’s easier to preload them… ---

it is in a mc, but using an external swf would work the same so, I wondered how I could preload all pic in one time.So that when loaded into the slideshow they are loaded faster. Because they are already loaded. ---

> [@kokoi](#): > > no problemo 😉 not sure how you have set up your movie butHave a look at this and see if it is any use to you [http://www.gifsrus.com/testfile/hierachyprel8.swf](http://www.gifsrus.com/testfile/hierachyprel8.swf) basically it loads the movies in order and then changes the order if a user clicks a link.(all the text and big file for testing purposes only) you could preload a few images at the start and then continue loading the rest as the viewer was browsing. ---

was thinking about doing that and then suddenly i came to the conclusion it were over 50 pic’s. I was hoping there was a way I just entered their names and flash would preload them all together. But thnx Stringy ---
