Hi
I have created a slide show using jpegs that are about 50K-70Kb.

I have put them into a separate file and then loaded them into a movieclip using the loadMovie method.

It all works fine, except occasionally I get a little blip as one of the images is downloaded.

I could put all the images inside the swf and then put a preloader on the whole file. HOwever, I would prefer to keep the images external - makes updating the images easier.

How can I avoid the little blip - when I used to do javascript there was a think about preloading into the cache in the head of the html page.

Is that still applicalbe, or is there a better way

thanks in advance

Edward
