I’ve used the XML Slideshow located here:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_slideshow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)

i read the whole thing and did the easy cut and paste things to make it work. but i was wondering if anyone knew how to change this very slideshow so it preloads all images, not one at a time.

i want a slide show that rapidly changes the external images. once i go below 2 seconds, the images (currently 50kb-65kb) dont always load before moving to the next image, so it skips and moves on. plus it seems to reload them everytime. which crushes hopes of a “rapid-fire” slideshow. and i worry that users with slower connections wont see anything. so preloadering would solve everything.

i’ve studied this code for over a week. tried changing things and making hybrid actionscripts, but no luck. i just don’t get this stuff.
