    found out for you James,

    right this is the deal:

    If you use loadMovie for each one it will depend on Browser settings - whether or not the browser uses the cache to display content. Mostly it will take the cached image.

    If you use duplicateMovie then it will use the MovieClip within the FlashPlayer and duplicate that, therefore not requesting the image again - as long as you wait until the image is loaded before duplicating.

    Also there are a number of reasons against using duplicateMovie - parent and children clip issues.... for full functionality use loadMovie and use the getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal for testing if they're loaded or not - onLoad doesn't work for images.
