Is there a way to front load resources of a Captivate project?

Question

Some of my slides flicker because it takes a while for the browser to load all of the resources for that particular slide. The biggest culprits for long load times tend to be large pngs (for example in the carousel learning interaction) and image json files and these arent loaded by the browser until shortly before they are needed.

Is there a way to force the browser to download all of the image json file up front and cache them so the user doesnt have to wait for them to be downloaded during the project?

Thanks for any help!

I do believe that the JSON files are loaded up front. The issue is that the images are not rendered until they are needed.

The JSON files stop the program from pinging the server for each image, but the initial download time will be longer when the CP file is loaded.

You could try putting the large images on a loading slide, which would be slide 1 and make it/tem hidden. Make the slide duration a few seconds and auto advance. Not sure if it will see the image as cached when it is encountered on a subsequent slide since the image is encoded. Worth a try though.
