anyone ever built one? - i am trying and failing pretty miserably...my logic is there, but something is missing
trying to load a series of 8 or so images into a movie that has 2 holder movies - one that pulls in the current bitmap, and the other that 'preloads' with 0 alpha the next image while the current one is displayed - that way even though the bitmaps are pulled dynamically, no loaders ever appear and there is no waiting on the users end
i could send a zip to someone if they would be kind enough to help
thanks

i could learn something in the meantime by also asking..
in flash, if you have one submc1 inside a mainmc that loads in jpgs dynamically, and the jpgs that it is calling have already been loaded into another submc, say, submc2, that is maybe underneath it or visible=false, will the previously loaded imgs 'cache' so to speak, and then load into the submc1 faster and more seamlessly?
uh ok, maybe that is to poorly phrased...

It should be cached - it's just like loading an image from the server directly through your browser.
To answer your first post... rather than alpha-tweening the images, think about just tweening their brightness to 100% white... this way you don't have to worry about swapping depths to keep the latest image on top all the time... just may be a lot less hassle.

check the Resource thread. I think there are some AS posts there that have something.

you can use XML for it but it's not needed.

yeah, just trying with a combination of getTimer and the loadMovie action
i'm really close, but the images aren't pulling in faster after being cached...and the fade transition used to work, but now is jumpy

here is a link that you might find very handy!

it's better you use AS for it rather than standard fades.

with you, but still... :(
