Re: Loading Images

Posted by Brian Sanders on November 28, 2001 at 1:29 PM

One approach that should make for a more responsive user experience is to load all of the images at startup. Make an image cache based off of an array or map. Load each of the images with Toolkit.createImage() at startup, then get each of the Image objects from your cache as needed.
