Background images in layers problem

I have designed a page that uses overlapping layers that have background
images. Whenever one of the layers is changed from hidden to visible, my
browser re-downloads the background image rather than using a cached image.
This takes 5-10 seconds, which is uncacceptable.
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks.

Where did you go wrong? Using images that take 5-10 seconds to download
would be a good place to start! 8)

Can you show me your code?

By the way, attachments are discouraged for this and other Macromedia
forums, and to make matters worse, they do not carry forward from the
webforums into the NNTP forums, which is where most of the people who post
answers are visiting. If you want to broadcast your code so that everyone
can see it, the only real way is a) to paste it into a reply (not great if
there is lots of code), or b) to upload it somewhere and post a URI to it.

Be aware that if you paste voluminous quantities of code into a reply, the
code may get truncated when transferring to the NNTP forum. This can be
quite confusing to both poster, and reader. The best bet would be to upload
the page and post a URI.
