If I load an swf into a movie clip, and then load another swf into that same movie clip. Is the first swf stored somewhere or is it totally gone when the second swf is loaded?

What I want to know is if I need to have as many movie clip holders as I have swf’s. Else they would have to load every time they were called.

Thank you.
