I see your point. Loading the thumbnails in a zip is definetly better than loading them individually.. In my case the thumbnails have to be loaded before the user is able to interact with the site anyway. Still, some kind of advanced background loading is what I'm looking for, but that's

I've found that LoadQueueManager is excellent for loading multiple external files in sequence.. It also gives you the possibility to pause loading, rearrange loading order etc. etc. http://blog.bittube.com/2006/10/27/loadqueuemanager-update/ Hope to see an AS 3 version of this soon! Rasmus
