Don't put all the bitmaps inside the swf. Put them on the website and
load them just when you then them. You need to learn about loadMovie
and preloaders. It's easy to load a jpeg image on demand but it's
important to use preloaders with that to make sure it's loaded before
using it. Check out slide show examples on flashkit.com and
kirupa.com etc. Adapt the image loading and preloaders to your site.
good luck,
