RE: Preloading images and flash - 4/9/2001 20:14:00
Preloading images on a page when they are intended to appear on the same page is only useful if these are intended as mouse over images. That way when someone mouses over an image the alternative will appear right away - as it is preloaded - rather than having to be loaded only when the request for it is made.Preloading images that are intended to appear normally is an oxymoron - they have to be loaded whatever you call it so whether you call it load or preload is immaterial. If the former (ie alternative mouseover images) is what you want to preload then this will do it: <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
var preload=new Image();
preload.src="(insert name of image here)";
-->
</SCRIPT> This is likely the one you didn;t want to see but I am not aware that this is to do with previous pages. When I want to preload an image on a previous page I just insert that image at the very bottom of the page, below my last table, and then change its proportions to 1x1 pixels. That way it is invisible on the page and loads itself after the rest of the page has loaded fully. Sorry of this is no help - if you post again with a more specific description of what you are trying to do perhaps someone else will have a suggestion. ------------------
