Hi Guys  
I just joined your awesome site.  
I am a relatively new web designer and although I saw a similar thread, I noticed it did not lead to a conclusion, therefore I am asking for help anew.

I have an html website that displays still photographs contained in a swf built in flash. I refer in particular to the images in the rectangle window on the right.  
[http://sparrowphotography.net/SPVIEWER/CLIENTS/NDunne3/SPVnich\_dunne3.html](http://sparrowphotography.net/SPVIEWER/CLIENTS/NDunne3/SPVnich_dunne3.html)  
As you can see the swf starts with a % preloader. The images are fairly high resolution, 14 in total (each embedded into movie clips and not dynamically loaded)  
I just wish to know if there is a way of SPEEDING up the time it takes for the swf to load and open in the web page, to aid users with a slower connection.  
I understand that if my host server is reaonably fast (which I believe it is) then the problem lies with the users connection speed, but IS THERE ANY ADD ON ACCELERATOR or CODING I can apply from my side of things ??  
MANY THANKS in anticipation.
