I am trying to build an array of images from which to display 2 at a time side by side dynamically. Its important that these images be preloaded as much as possible to maximize response times. Ideally loading atleast 6 images in advance as the user navigated through the sequence.
What is the best practice model for loading several images into some sort of array for displaying on-demand in respose to the user ? I have explored using Loader and Sprite containers which I can get to work okay for single images but I want to have images available 'in the wings'. Not sure that displayContainers are the right objects for storing and managing 'hidden' images. I have also dissected some of the photo viewers samples out there and they reference static images so they aren't much help. Thanks for any suggestions
