I'm looking for a jQuery slideshow plugin, and I can't seem to fond one that does all I need. Cycle and jCarousel come close. But my problem is I have multiple galleries on one page, and they all have large images. So, since they load all the images in every gallery and then hide them, the page totals over 4000KB.
I need something like Litebox or Thickbox that calls the next/prev image and loads it as needed, with a loading gif. But I don't want a pop-up modal. It would be nice if I could just put one image from each gallery in the HTML and have the prev/next buttons load and fade to the prev/next image. Any suggestions?
