hello, i have a movie calling images from an xml file. this really speeds up the development process, but everytime i go to click on buttons to call up the images, there is a one second or so delay before seeing the images.

the users will click on 50 or so images, pretty quickly while they are using this swf

is there something i can do to expediate this image loading? like perhaps pre-loading all the potential images to be clicked while there is a preloading movie playing at the start?

with the delay i am experiencing, the user experience is going to suck

Preloading the images into empty movieclips would be your best bet. Load times are going to be dictated by network traffic etc etc so there is nothing you can really do as far as speeding it up.

would that allow all of the clips to be loaded during one loading movie at the beginning of the users experience?
