There's no option for TileList to pre-fetch.
If you know the thumbnails and they won't change, you can always embed them and use a different itemRenderer that assumes the images are embedded. Then they are guaranteed to be there when the app starts up, but that can slow download and startup time. You can copy bmp data if you want as well. Depending on how "fast" you need it, remember that in most cases, once you fetch an image, it will be in the browser cache so the second fetch is pretty fast. So, you can always just have hidden loaders that load them once just to prime the browser cache. -Alex ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schmitty Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 9:21 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Preloading a tilelist of images? What would be the preferred method of preloading a tilelist of thumbnails (could contain many thumbs) When I receive the list of thumb urls, should I create "background" image components to load them into and then access their bmp data for the actual tilelist display? Or is there a way in the tilelist to prefetch stuff?
