I'm surprised you keep suggesting this method.
I spend most of my time wading through cryptic variables in bloated code
with MM_ everywhere, and can assure you there's nothing about MM code that
makes it better than what you write yourself.
It also completely defeats the need for an API in the first place, if a new
browser comes out you have to manually update all your MM code fragments.
And MM_preloading sucks.
If there's something MM do with rollovers that you like, steal it , and make
the leanest rollover-widget you can.
My leanest rollover widget is this one:
http://www.resass.f2s.com/dynapi/Richard_Examples/Image_Rollover.html
Of course there's no preloading, and it's just a try-out, but I think we can
do better than MM anyday.
