Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to speed up the transition time between pictures for this slideshow: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.html](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.html)

There is too much of a lag for larger images. Go here to see what I mean: [http://www.vuhuynh.com](http://www.vuhuynh.com)

Is there a way to perhaps preload all images or put a preloader that displays progress while each image loads?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have a look in the code for this part:

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
	var i, l, t;
	l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
	t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
	if (t>0 && t == l) {
		this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
	} else {
		trace(l/t);
	}
};

```

you can put the code for the preloader where the “trace(l/t)” now is.  
So if you have a (dynamic) textfield with the instancename “loadInfo” and a loadbar with instancename “loadBar” [size=1](both w/o quotes)[/size], you can change the code like this:

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
	var i, l, t;
	l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
	t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
      percent = Math.round((l/t)*100);
	if (t>0 && t == l) {
		this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
	} else {
		loadInfo.text = percent+" % loaded";
loadBar._xscale= percent;
	}
}

```

Scotty,

Thanks for the quick reply. :hr:

I used your code, and the preloader works, but it does not ever reach 100% and it doesn’t dissapear off the screen.  
Take a look:  
[http://www.vuhuynh.com](http://www.vuhuynh.com/) (the preloader is on the bottom right)

Thanks again.

I’ve attached the .fla for your enjoyment ; ).

sorry…here it is. I couldn’t include any of the images…the file would have been too big.

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
	var i, l, t;
	l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
	t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
      percent = Math.round((l/t)*100);
	if (t>0 && t == l) {
		this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
                         loadInfo.text = ""; //Add this
	} else {
		loadInfo.text = percent+" % loaded";
loadBar._xscale= percent;
	}
}

```

do this and the text will disappear when the 100% is reached, you don’t see 100% but who cares you get to see the picture\>\>\>
