If I am loading an image with asset.image, is it in any way possible to abort loading when it's running? Like forcing the onabort, doing the stuff the browser stop button does to images, except that I don't want to "execute" the stop button (and stop the whole page/window).
I have this image stack loader class in which I hold an array of images (the stack) and I load them one after the other like asset.images, except that I can add an image to the stack with a high/ mid/low priority setting so it will be the next in line (high prio) that is loaded. However, if the one that is currently busy loading is 4mb in size, it still takes a while and it's a waste of bandwidth really.. so I'd like to cancel/abort that one and run next(). I've Googled around, tried some options, but in in the Net/Images tab in Firebug I keep seeing the progress bar working hard downloading all these bytes :( Any ideas? PS > I was thinking loading images with ajax (setting response header to image/something) so I could cancel the request. But I'm not sure if that will cache the image correctly or will work at all?
