I took a look at different (inline) slideshow scripts, and I found this, 'phatfusion.net slideshow'. I really like how it's done. The only problem (for me personally) is that this does not load all images at once. This script loads one image at a time. Timer is shown if there is a delay, so over all, the slideshow looks pretty good, but my guess is that my client would like all images loaded at once AND THEN the slideshow to start playing. Now, my question is this. How can I load all images at once? Has anyone used this script before? How can I make this modification? Unfortunately, there are not a lot of documents, and consequently, I don't know where to begin.
If you use a free image pre-loader (JavaScript), it should solve your problem. Only reason being, once the images have loaded once, and the sideshow continues to loop round, it does so without loading the images again (they're being cached by your browser). Jay
Resurrecting this old thread, you can choose to either preload all slideshow images or load them one by one with the latest Magic Slideshow script.
