Alright i have this slideshow code (below) and it preloads every image that is entered. This really drags out download time. I am trying to eliminate or just preload the first image or when the image is about to rollover. Or anything that will reduce download time. here's the code
<script>


// Set slideShowSpeed (milliseconds)
var slideShowSpeed = 5000

// Duration of crossfade (seconds)
var crossFadeDuration = 50

// Specify the image files
var Pic = new Array() // don't touch this
// to add more images, just continue
// the pattern, adding to the array below

Pic[0] = 'Jeff.jpg'
Pic[1] = 'LIBRARY.jpg'
Pic[2] = 'COMPUTERS.jpg'
Pic[3] = 'CLAUDIA.jpg'



var t
var j = 0
var p = Pic.length

var preLoad = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preLoad[i] = new Image()
preLoad[i].src = Pic[i]
}

function runSlideShow(){
if (document.all){
document.images.SlideShow.style.filter="blendTrans(duration=2)"
document.images.SlideShow.style.filter="blendTrans(duration=crossFadeDuration)"
document.images.SlideShow.filters.blendTrans.Apply()
}
document.images.SlideShow.src = preLoad[j].src
if (document.all){
document.images.SlideShow.filters.blendTrans.Play()
}
j = j + 1
if (j > (p-1)) j=0
t = setTimeout('runSlideShow()', slideShowSpeed)
}
</script>
thanks justin
