Description

Use the bufferHiddenImages property to eliminate delays when hidden images are shown.

If the bufferHiddenImages property is set to true, hidden images are decompressed (along with visible images) when the user goes to a card. This means the image is shown immediately when its visible property is set to true, without waiting for decompression, but it uses more memory.

If the bufferHiddenImages is false, hidden images are not decompressed until they are made visible.

If the alwaysBuffer property of an image is true, the setting of the bufferHiddenImages property has no effect on that image, and it is always decompressed immediately.
