Help with load time!

i just finished working on this site: http://www.artdecoentertainment.com and every page is an external swf…most of them load pretty quickly however if you go to ‘gallery’ the load time is far too long (please ignore my third world load screen…i got too tired to make a preloader…now i know that there are sites out there with just as many images and a quicker load time. all the images are sized in photoshop to the exact dimensions that they show up in the flash file…they are all jpegs w/ 72 dpi compressed at 60% (using ‘save for web’)…is there anything else i can do to make this swf a bit smaller and hence, a smaller load time?
please anyone that might be able to help
thanks
