Menu items only load after menu is selected. 1

[jbezzina]

I have created a menu in Fireworks and imported in Dreamweaver. This has a drop down menu.

Problem is that the images in the drop down menu only load when you select the menu, due to this you get quite a strange effect with a white background. Is there a way to preload these items so that they will be ready for use when the user selects the menu.

Here is a link to my (still under construction) page:

Thanks mate. I found it, now I just need to test it.

I found the option to preload an image in Dreamweaver but I have a problem. Unless I am mistaken, the files that need to be preloaded need to be selected one by one. Now I have a full menu to preload and the number of images is quite large.

a)What is the easiest way to get these images listed in the behaviors?

b)Is there a way that I can include a directory and all its content rather from having to select the individual files?

c)Can this be done from fireworks since I have a feeling that once you change anything in the menu. These behaviors will be lost.

Thanks
