I'm trying to grasp some of the basic concepts of flash... somehow the posts I search don't quite sink in Hopefully this will be easy for you experts out there...
I did a photo gallery tutorial -- it builds an array of the image names and when you click 'back' or 'next' it goes to set directory and loads the pic.
I had posted earlier about a lot of noise while running this app from cd -- mainly the code keeps going back to the cd to access the photos. Silly me finally figured out -- I need a preloader! ummm.... I think....?
Can I just preload the images at startup and keep them cached? I suppose if the code is saying "go to the directory" caching them wont help???
I'm not worried about the speed - it works fine as far as that goes. The thing I want to avoid is the swf having to go back to the cd every time you change photos.
Somehow I think this post makes no sense. I promise I'm not just posting - I'm reading old posts, tutorials...
