Slideshow Taking WAY too long to load

I have a slideshow posted at http://olyrents.com/slideshow.htm

My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.

I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?

I have attached the script from the original fla file.

Thanks!

What is the current average file size for the 65 images?

The largest is at 77kb.

That adds up to somewhere in the realm of 5MB, which isn't going to be a quick load time, though it might be visually workable if you separate the loading from the viewing.

One thing you might consider is doing away with the preloader visual. With 65 images being interupted by 65 preloader screens, it kinda defeats the potential aethetics of the images and may lead one to think it's taking a long time to load them as a result.

Hi kglad!

I don't see it necessarily, but my client says it takes way too long to load the photos. He also mentioned he has to wait about 20 minutes for the entire show to finish loading? I know he's not on dial up so that's not the issue. I even saved the photos down to smaller file sizes thinking that would make a difference.

Thanks
