I can load external SWF files as they are loaded into a container MC, but can I load them all up front, during the initial flash loading screen, then simply call them when needed?

The problem is that I have many sections to load, and I don’t want the user to have to wait every time he/she switches sections. If I had 10 sections, would I just load each SWF into 10 different container MCs and make all of them invisible until called upon?
