You could create two states for the component: "loading" and "loaded". In the "loading" state, you show some progress component (preloader) and remove it in the "loaded" state. When you do the HTTPSService call, set the state to "loading", when you get the result, save the number of images in a variable and register the "complete" event for each of the images. In the "complete" handler, increment another variable and when it reaches the value of the first variable, then all images are loaded and you can switch to the "loaded" state which will remove the preloader.
Of course don't forget to treat errors for the HTTPService and images loading calls! Hope it helps!
