Hey!

I have written a photoalbum which fades between the pictures.
Everytime a fadeover has finished, the next and the previous picture
(one of them is the last picture, of course) will be loaded into a non
visible Image added to the Panel...

Everything works fine, but on my Firefox, it doesn't preload the
images
at all!

I hope someone can help!

Try to use Image.prefecth

As gwt-javadoc says

public static void prefetch(java.lang.String url)

Causes the browser to pre-fetch the image at a given URL.

Parameters:
url - the URL of the image to be prefetched

Thanks for the information!

That's probably what I am looking for.

Anyway, I it works now! Don't ask me why...
Probably, Firefox's chache was not reloaded
or something.

But if I wouldn't use the Fade over effect
and its postEffect method -
I would have to use prefech...
