Preloading a .JPG

[jaredly]

Is it posible to preload a jpg file like I do with a swf. Here is an example McArtordesign.com (http://www.mcartordesign.com) go to the portfolio section. I like the way I can load a hole section up for ex. websites. But I found this great little slide show that works with xml. slide show (http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/index.html)

I am afraid that it will take time for eash photo to load and I want to be able to show the user how long they will need to wait. But I want to leave all the images as jpg.

Any suggestions?

Preloading a jpeg, in practice would be exactly the same as loading a movie. In fact, if uses the same syntax. So, if you're doing it in the other file, it should be hard to get it working for the images.

Make sure they are baseline compressed jpegs though.

After I tought about my question I relized that it should work the same. Thanks.
