Do you mean a picture gallery?

Generally the best way of dealing with images is to make them smaller thumbnails and show the full thing on a click. That way you aren’t loading as much. Flash will always compress the images etc as much as it can, but whenever you import photos etc into a movie, your file size will shoot up. 😏
