Site troubleshooting - pages loading so slowly

Hello all,

This site ran great on my computer, but when published, it’s a whole nuther story. I can’t believe how slow it is. The main swf is only 788kb, and none of its supporting pages are more than 200kb. They are all movies that load into a container on the main page. What did I do wrong?

Also, I wanted the html page to fit closely around the swf, not have it float off to the left like that. I don’t like the blue background. Plus, the swf seems so small in there, doesn’t look like 900 x 600, does it?

I would appreciate any guidance with these issues, and more if you see anything I should correct.

thanks in advance for your help.
