File savvy movieclips

Would it be better for file size if there was

a) One mc that contained 12 or so images where a gotoAndPlay would be used to direct to the right one

b) 12 movieclips that each had 1 picture

I would assume (a) because the movieclip gets loaded and then that’s that… but Im afraid it’ll also make it seem like there are 12 instances of the same picture if I have to use that movieclip in 12 different areas
