[Javascript] Problem with script

I copied a script from DynamicDrive.com, which offers lots of free, =
great DHTML scripts.  I found a script for a splash page (given below) =
thinking, apparently wrongly, that I could use this to have a brief =
message appear, while two images downloaded for the first page of the =
actual website.

For some reason, no matter how I try and fill in the array...nothing =
downloads until all the messaging is finished which really defeats the =
purpose of the whole thing.

Can anybody help here?  (I am on digest so cc my email address if you =
can help)
