ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for loading multiple animated images on a Web page during browsing over a network with limited bandwidth. The method comprising the steps of: (1) retrieving hypertext objects containing a Java applet from servers over a network into a browser utilizing a Java engine for running Java applets; (2) displaying a default image and default image effects by the Java applet; and (3) the Java applet retrieving a target image series comprising a series of related images from the server and loading the target image series one image at a time with screen transition effects in between each image so that a speed of the screen transition effects is set to finish when a next image in the image series is retrieved over the network of limited bandwidth and prepared for loading by said Java applet, thereby making the speed of the screen transition effects proportional to a time required to retrieved the next image in the image series.
In another embodiment, an apparatus and computer readable medium carries out the method above.
