How I was able to preload many flash flv and swf files on one of my clients sites that has a lot of online video and relatively small traffic. Their site visitors would usually watch 3-10 videos per visit and so to make the videos load almost instantly on every page I came up with a way to preload the top 10 .flv files and the swf flv player files as soon as the visitor successfully started watching the 1st video. Of course I also setup .htaccess caching on the server so that once they downloaded the files into their cache they would never request them from the server again. I was having fun with this so its pretty funky and uses some really cool combinations of javascript, swf preloader from xml, css classes to help automate it all..

An Image Sprite is simply multiple images combined into one image. Using the background-position in CSS you can display a specific image from the image sprite.
Sprites reduce the number of files that are requested and downloaded by site visitors, resulting in noticeable decreases in Page-Loading times, Bandwidth usage, and Server loads.
