preloading dynamic JPG 1

[Bignewbie]

Hi guys,

I got a question what's been bugging me for weeks now.

We have a group of Flash intro's. Now my boss said that the content must be dynamic, meaning our clients can just upload thier pictures and set thier texts in our database, then the flash intro will show them accordingly.

My question is how can we preload jpgs? I can generate a list of them and can know how many there are. but i really dont know how to preload them.

Any ideas? even a link to a tutorial on preloading jpgs would help.


waiting for you responses. Thanks

preload them the same you would preload anything else.

first question you have to ask though is do you need to preload them...maybe not

if you do

load them into an empty clip

make another empty clip and add preloader code as a frame action within that clip the code targeting the instance name of the clip the jpegs are going into

drop this clip on stage

thats it
