I've got a folder of pretty high-res pictures that I'm loading into a jit.matrix. This is done from an ubumenu. These pictures are then used as a texture, and animatad with openGL-stuff. All the pictures have different dimensions, but are at least 300dpi, but the matrix I load them into is 1024x1024, - which of course messes up the proportions.

Problem is that each time I load a new picture, the animation hangs for a second. Could someone please instruct me on how I can avoid this.

I was searching the forums for a way to load a whole bunch of pictures to use as a texture. Best way apparently is to load them onto the gpu first. Is there a limitation, I think I have a few hundred pictures that need to get loaded and I must be able to switch from one to the next in a matter of frames, Sometimes keep it for a few seconds sometimes change it every 2 frames.

I did found the javascript in this thread, but have no idea where to implement it. I'm not good in java.

Can someone help me ot to get things running here?

you can try pre-loading them into set of jitmatrix or jit.matrixset 

objects, where they will be cached in ram, or have a set of 

jit.gl.texture objects for each image and you could sent the 'texture 

texturename' message to your jit.gl.* object that should get the
