If you're using components, these will generally be in the first frame
whether they are on stage or not.
Check the size report to make sure. It seemed to work ok here, I
throttled bandwidth to 56k and the interface appeared reasonably
quickly, the thumbnails were there but no background image appeared.
I'd probably use external jpegs with a load queue, this way you'd be
able to grey out any thumbnails til they have the main image as cached
data, as it is now you can click on some of the thumbs but nothing
happens presumably because the swf hasn't streamed past the point
where the relevant image is initialised?
I'd highly recommend as always getting a copy of charles web debugging
proxy, you can see exactly what's occurring with transfer/active
connections etc, plus you can throttle bandwidth etc makes debugging
these things a lot easier.
