image preloading

Anon

i assume its not possible with php but if it is tell me. i have this javascript :

Might I suggest putting all the image paths into an array rather than supplying them to a function? It would make more sense and it is easier to manipulate standard arrays. And just have your function look from that array. And it is not possible to preload in php, unless they have appeared somewhere else already. So, just use Js.

ok i'm a newbie at javascript though so how would i do that?

thanks.

let's see. You could do something like this i believe (It might not work because I'm writing this off the top of my head, but it should)

function loadImages()
{
curlength=images.length;
for (count=0; count<curlength; count++)
{
curpic = new Image();
curpic.src = images[count];
return curpic;
}
}

and before calling this function, just make an array (images) containing the path of all the images you wish to preload. Hope this helps, R
