Thank you Andreas.
I will try using a separate holder on the first frame so they are preloaded. I
am not sure why having the onEnterFrame handler attached to the clip the movie
is loaded into is a bad thing. Not disagreeing I just don't know!
Doesn't the mc that the image is being loaded into still exist when download
begins and I use the line 'if (howLoaded == totalLoaded)' to check when fully
loaded and at this point delete the onEnterFrame.

Even if the image is in the browser cache there will be a small delay to
reload it - longer in some Browsers/OS (some Mac?).
So yes, in this case (20 images) I think it might be a good idea to have a
separate holder for each of them and then toggle the visibility to show/hide
them (even though this can put some strain on the CPU if you have a big
number of big images).
I don't quite trust how you monitor the download progress. You have the
onEnterFrame handler attached to the clip the movie is loaded into. I would
expect that it gets wiped out as soon as the download starts.
