just a hypothesis... but maybe have a white box with the alpha dropped down some as a movie clip (lets call it loadbox_mc) which is duplicated for each thumbnail... then have its _yscale property dropped for how far along the actual picture is loaded...

Fancy Thumbnail Hover Effect w/ jQuery - pedrocorreia.net::
Recently I was checking out some nice flash galleries and came across an effect that I really liked. I had a sudden urge to duplicate that similar effect but using

for (var i:Number = 0; i < picslengh; i++){
holder_clip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
holder_clip._x = (i%picslength)*100; // this is to say they're 100px wide
holder_clip._y = Math.floor(i*picslength)/100; //100px tall
// load the picture here
loader_clip = _root.duplicateMovieClip("loadbox_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
loader_clip._x = this.holder_clip._x;
loader_clip._y = this.holder_clip._y;

var loaded = this.holder_clip.getBytesLoaded();
var total = this.holder_clip.getBytesTotal();
loader_clip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._yscale = 100-(total/loaded);
}
}

ok... don't go copy and pasting that as i'm pretty much 100 percent sure that wont work for crap.. just the idea is there and the idea alone. could somebody who actually knows what they're talking about shed some light, i find that interesting too and would possible like to use my own variation of it.

hmmm you got me thinking..thanks for ur input....yeah any1 else ?
