You can 'fake' something by downloading a very small version of the image (like 3K) and scale it to the final size, once that has loaded, display, then start loading the full size version. I've done this before with very large file sized images. You could even use a PHP script using the GD library to generate your small version from the final image on the fly so you don't need 2 versions of each image.

It's possible.. but not using loadMovie.. you'd have to make something serverside that read the image and sent it byte by byte.. kinda like a reverse on those samples that saved images to the server using bitmapdata. definitely not an optimal way to load an image. maybe there is a better way in as3 with bytearrays, but i don't know enough about that yet :) -- Michael On Jul 2, 2006, at 11:50 AM, Marc Hoffman wrote: > I might be wrong, but I don't think you can download progressive > jpgs, therefore you won't have anything to display until the jpg is > completely loaded.
