Can an image from a url be "preloaded" so it comes up immediately?

in Web Viewer

Featured Replies

I have a series of layouts in my database. I am using the webviewer to post images from webpages.

I have a need to move quickly from one layout to the other but I am trying to see if there is any suggestion on how to get the next layouts on standby so there is no interruption in the flow of my presentation. Just wondering

Thanks

hide the webviewer until i user clicks a button? Not 100% sure but i dont think a webviewer will try to present its contents until its shown.

There is a Javascript technique to preload images - look it up. I don't know if it will help in your situation - after all, you're switching to another layout, therefore to another web-viewer - but it's worth a try.

 

There could be another solution to this, but I am not sure what exactly "using the webviewer to post images from webpages" means.

I mean I have pre arranged content on a website. I would like to make the images in the webviewer flow from one layout to another.

I am trying ways to minimize filemaker space but moving from one image to another ( without loading FM into a really big file from images.
