Great to hear :) Caveman coding might not be the fanciest, but it usually work ;)
If you want to go a little less "neanderthal" to a more "homo sapiens" approach (even if the neanderthal approach was my suggestion :), you could also try to use contentCache queue prioritization, and set a high priority to the first 3 images and a low priority to the rest, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the work (and if the underlying implementation of contentCache will truly "obey" those priorities) Have a look at contentCache.priorityGroup and contentCache.prioritize(string) here (although documentation is quite limited): http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/core/ContentCache.html#priorityGroup Also, make sure that your webserver is correctly sending the necessary cache tags (expires etc...) for the requested contents, or contentCache will be pretty useless on caching. P.S. Instead of using prioritization, you could also try to switch to the second ArrayCollection immediately after setting the first (or just a few milliseconds after that). If contentCache queueing is doing its job, the first assignment should put your first 3 images to the top of the empty queue, and the switch should populate the rest of the queue (and hopefully get everything loaded in the correct order). You could simulate some very low bandwidth network conditions and monitor contentCache.requestQueue and contentCache.activeRequest, to see if everything is working as intended.
