FN-FORUM: Another one for the script heads...

date posted 1st August 2003 11:24

hi all,
i have a preload script that loads up about 49k of images when the page
opens. (i know!)

does anyone know if there is some way to disable user interactivity
until all images have loaded into memory? (similar to to how flash has
the 'loading' screen) i have the code:

if (document.images && (preloadFlag == true))

at the beginning of all image swop functions, but it doesn't really
seem to work the way i want it to. (i.e. completely disabling these
functions until the necessary images are available.)

it would be nice to have a small image in the centre of the screen that
says 'loading' which then swaps to the logo on completion, as the
effect of the page relies heavily on having all these images present
before the use rolls over anything...

TIA
luke
