Loading graphics - control the order of appearance?

[camelot217]

Is there any way I can have any control over the order in which graphics are being loaded by the browsers. Maybe by naming them in a certain way?

There are javascript pre loaders and the like, but you'll be pulling your hair out after updating your site and finding that the image numerical sequence has changed and you'd have to re write the script again.

Also, this would slow down your site display as each image is loaded into the browser cache before displaying as per the script.

“Control”? No, this is the web, browsers will do what they want.

But Xtreme will export HTML in back-to-front order, so if you use ^B to move a graphic to the back of the canvas, its image will appear first in the HTML file, which makes it more likely a browser will fetch it earlier.

There are a couple of images I change frequently and they seem to be the last ones that get loaded.

Maybe it just seems like they're fetched last because they're changing. That is to say, the browser is using the cached versions of all of the unchanging images so that they can display faster, and then it has to reload the changed ones, making it seem like they're loading last.

Just a thought...
