Jquery Image Rotator Question

[Jacques]

My company has suggested that we replace all our flash based image
rotators with jquery versions.

I have used Jquery cycle before

http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/download.html

But have a question.... Do these plugins allow the images to be
downloaded after the page has rendered?

Some of our flash rotators have hundreds of larger images in them. Can
we use jquery to dynamically load these into a rotator after the page
renders?

Can somebody point me to a good example if so?

Does any know of any other disadvantages to using jquery over flash
for this type of thing other then when users have javascript disabled?

Thanks for you help!

Hey There Jacques,

I'm looking at the same (to avoid the use of Flash and use simple HTML!)

There's a good example at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/add3.html

I guess this could be changed to contain a dynamically created array (or
batches of arrays) that add specific (in my case CMS driven) images to the
collection once pre-loaded. Big benefit is that if JS off user still sees a
couple of images (I want to change this to one image but suspect it's not
going to be easy!)

Would be interested in any flash replacement you consider :)

Cheers
Dylan
