Hi,  
I’m putting together a flash site for a photographer and as you can imagine the image file sizes are quite large. They have all been optimized for the website but I wanted some advice on the quickest/best way to get the site to load.  
Currently there are approx. 15 frames with 3 images of approx 110K per frame. Am I best to preload each image, or call it in from outside the .swf.  
(At the moment each frame has a movie with the 3 images and 3 thumbnails in it)

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers, Pat 🍺
