Re: FLASH: OT: "preloading" html

[Ahron Studio]

Thanks for your answer, but I think it's some kind of a JavaScript trick - I

mean to the "display all the content at the same time" thing, 'cause I never

saw Flash-like preloading (for e.g. with an animgif playing while

downloading). But I saw (I think) the first thing in a few sites, just can't

remember where - but they weren't lame sites...
