Is it possible to specify, in a cross-browser way, which image (or other) elements are loaded first?

In my case, I have a flash object and an image object, but of course the flash (swf) is much bigger so takes longer to load. I want to know if there's a (good) way to make the image load *after* the flash object.

Have seen this done with javaScript. But only with images. I suppose it might be possible with objects and images.

what little I know of html, this problem is fixable by laying out the load order in your code. so call the flash stuff after the page has loaded and formatted to the user.

In most cases Flash should not take a long time to load, look in your help files for methods of streaming and preload - that is, load only the first elements and begin playing while the rest is loading.
