I have a Flash slideshow that plays SWFs listed in an XML file. I would like to have the upcoming SWF load while the current one displays. I've tried all sorts of combinations of LoadMovie and LoadMovieNum, including creating an empty movie clip, but there's something I'm just not getting. Right now, after making the first round throu...
Before a client gets the full payload of the web request, we'd like to first send it a measurement of the size of the response it will get. If the response will be too large, the client will present a message to the user giving them the option to abort the operation. We can write some custom code to preload the response on the server...

Hello. Problem: An XML configuration file needs to be loaded at runtime and be ready when the application's createChildren() gets called. At the latest, because configuration values are needed to properly initialize child components. Preferably, I would like the configuration loading be complete before the application even gets created....
Hello there, jQuery has the .ready() function, but I am unsure whether this is what I need: I set a default background image in CSS (imange 1 out of 4), once document is loaded (images and all, not only DOM); I want to start preloading background image 2 out of 4. Once that is loaded, I want to fade image 1 into image 2. Then I want to...
I'm building an online test which implements audio (mp3) using the native audio player (i.e. non Flash-based). The test shows one question at a time and loads each subsequent question asynchronously. Some questions have an accompanying audio file, others don't, and the audio files can be several MB in size. So what I'm hoping to do is...
If you go here: http://74.53.45.114/~hendrikv/new/galleries.html - click on any gallery and then click on any thumbnail before all the thumbnails are loaded the image is not opened in Lytebox. Also looks like this only happens to some visitors and not all. Is there anyway to get around this so that the image opens in Lytebox even though...
Hey, I'm helping out a friend with a website he's developing and we are having trouble with preloading images on request. Basically, when the user clicks on a thumbnail of the product a <div> slides down that includes a scrolling carrousel of large images.

I work for an operator, and we preload applications on Android phones. However, some preloaded applications, once upgraded from Market, crash. The problem is this: - the application contains a .so library file - in order to preload the complete application on a phone, the .so library file has to be placed separately into the lib di...
I have a site which uses largeish (60-100k) background images which vary from page to page. When the user loads the page for the fist time, the page content is loaded first and the background image appears a short time after. This is, I understand, intended behavior in browsers but it makes the page loading look quite "bumpy" on slow...
The main goal of this code is to run throw all img tags and load the image to the client cache. During this, I've got and image that will appear by hiding div's above it... Now, This are the answers I'm looking for: Is this really caching the images ? How to simulate the current animation with a less evasive code ? Can this code be r...

Hey there, So I've got this .load setup for an image with a .fadeIn() callback, that works just fine. The problem is if I fire the .load twice in a row on the same image, it doesn't get to the callback! Here's a snippet of the code: $('#thumbs a').click( function() { imageSrc = $(this).attr('href').substring(1)+'.jpg'; // grab src...
I have a web page with a video player preloading 3 videos (low, med, and high quality of the same video). Then, when the user clicks on one the button corresponding to the desired version, the video opens. What I would like to do is to then stop the preloading of the two other videos. Is that possible? In other words, can the "preload...
Hi, I am using sessions to keep track of user data. I have many pages that access the same set of images. Is there a way to preload the images into a session so that they are loaded for the rest of the session? -Mike ...
I have an iphone app that has one view that needs to fetch a lot of data off of a variety of internet sites. Therefore, the amount of time required for it to load is unacceptable. I was wondering if there is any way to load the view during the 'applicationDidFinishLaunching' method so the delay is at the startup of the app instead of m...
Basically my app loads two RSS feeds - a blog feed and a twitter stream. These are in two different views in a tab bar controller. There is also a Home view which is the default view when the application launches. Ok, so basically when you go from the Home tab to the blog or twitter tab then it takes a while to load. Fair enough, its tr...

I'm working out details on a web application which involves the sequential loading of a long series of (very short) video clips, one after the other, with occasional input from the user establishing new directions for which video clips to load. I would like to be able to have the browser preload the video clips five at a time. However,...
