Here is the best way I have found to preload images in jscript. This method also works with Flash movies, and can be customized to preload virtually anything!! It is pretty easy to use, and I tried to comment all of the code so everyone can understand what is going on.

I'm not sure, a friend needed this. And it makes the index.html much smaller when you have a very large site and you need to preload pretty much everything on it.
The other ways to preload (creating an image variable, etc) are a waste. It starts loading them after the page has loaded, which is a pain in the ars with roll over images if you put the preloader directly on a main page.
There are many other reasons why I feel a java script is much better than putting the html on the page.

It works perfect. Was searching for a preloader for swf all day yesterday. And your script is excellent! I miss one thing though, a status bar, does anyone know how to combine this with the preloader code?

Thumbs up for well documented and written code which works! If you added a status bar as well it would be brilliant!

Thanks for all the great comments.
Sry for not replying, i forgot that i ever posted anything here.
Maybe i'll whip up a new version of it one of these days, with a status bar and such.
Note: I removed the ungreatfull bashing comments, because they mainly made no sense and were just putting the script down. I put this simple script up for people to learn from and to use! Not for ret@rds to bash it...

This is a really cool script! I have a couple of questions, what do I use as the type to preload a wmv file? ("image" or "movie" etc) and is there a way to set a delay as I want to show an intro while the file is loading. Its a very large video so I need something to display first....THanks!

this is some good codin'. not the greatest but it does what it's supposed to do. (i took the liberty of testing it in opera safari and firefox, none came up with errors (js error display=on), however it didn't display correctly in opera 9, and the quality all but sucked (for images) in safari 3. But I'm still impressed. It streamlined the process much, mainly because you've done all the work :P. I ultimately didn't use this script because I ended up going with a very light-on-the-graphics design for my site. Still, nice work. 4 globes.
