Better functionality for the Flash slideshow

For simplicity’s sake, I set up the method of preloading all images at once before the slideshow begins. This is seeming more and more ridiculous and I’m seeing a lot of inefficiency in it.

Since people are most likely going to take time to look at individual images, the time where the user is viewing an individual image should be taken advantage of by beginning the preloading of the next (and possibly previous?) image during the viewing process. Waiting to preload the next image until someone actually wants to see it seems stupid if in fact there was time to do it before.

I really don’t see much difficulty doing this either and I’m going to start working on it this week by Friday at the latest. I think this feature will make the slideshow much improved. More later.
