still is not clear to me, how you do this.

You can pre-load images in a number of ways: either by using
"sprites[1]" or with CSS. This is what I have used successfully:

HTML


CSS
#preload {text-indent:-5000px;}

You can kinda sorta do transitions in CSS using Internet Explorer's
behaviors. But that is really JScript anyway, so the answer is
"not really." 

You may get an answer to integrating MooTools form a JavaScript
list or forum.

Not really AFAIK, but there are a couple of hacks i use.

 o Load an image as part of a background. Then reuse it for mouseovers.
I often use it in the footer

 o Gather all your CSS and image files and send as one GZipped file to
the browser. This method requires .htaccess magic. I think the tutorial
i originally used was on www.sitepoint.com. Other tutorials may be
available.
