Flip book image loading issue

[parsam97]

I'm trying to create a flip book where JQuery Flip would flip through more than 2 cards. I know this isn't officially supported but I've got it to work. However, the smooth animation of the image that's being flipped to is not being shown. When flipping to the next image, there is a lag in the loading of the image, I'm assuming, and the animation doesn't appear as it does if only two images/cards were being loaded.
Here's a demo

Any way to load the images so the flashing effect doesn't happen and the next image is transitioned to smoothly?
