[. . . ] This prevents delays caused by downloading when it is time for the images to appear. Note: The Swap Image action automatically preloads all highlight images when you select the Preload Images option in the Swap Image dialog box, so you do not need to manually add Preload Images when using Swap Image. To use the Preload Images action: 1 Select an object and open the Behaviors panel. 2 Click the Plus (+) button and select Preload Images from the Actions pop-up menu. 3 Click Browse to select an image file to preload, or enter the path and filename of an image in the Image Source File text box. 4 Click the Plus (+) button at the top of the dialog box to add the image to the Preload Images list. Note: If you do not click the Plus button before entering the next image, the image you have just chosen will be replaced in the list with the image you select next. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all remaining images that you want to preload on the current page. 6 To remove an image from the Preload Images list, select the image in the list and click the Minus (­) button. 7 Click OK. 8 Check that the default event is the one you want. If it isn't, select another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Show Events For pop-up menu. Set Nav Bar Image Use the Set Nav Bar Image action to turn an image into a navigation bar image, or to change the display and actions of images in a navigation bar.

Use the Advanced tab of the Set Nav Bar Image dialog box to change the state of other images in a document based on the current button's state. By default, clicking an element in a navigation bar automatically causes all other elements in the navigation bar to return to their Up states; use the Advanced tab if you want to set a different state for an image when the selected image is in its Down or Over state.
