Help needed on loading pictures via actionscpript

Hello.

I need to do a flash that has several hundred pictures in it and so I was trying to find the best way to go about this.

I have done a flash before that had LOTS of photos in it and I loaded them all into the flash library but it made the file mover very slow. So, I know one can load movies in via action script in Browser/Network, but how does one go about this for pictures?

Any help is very much appreciated. I have a very tight deadline to get this done.

cheers,
Olivia
