Author Internet Explorer + Flash = memory problem :(

Hello.

I have flash movie - .swf file ~2.5Mb. The flash is made as sequence of jpeg
pictures
(with transparency) + sound (mp3). And the flash is compressed.
When I add the movie to an html page and load the page into IE (Interner
Explorer) - IE
allocate >130Mb of memory (I can see that in the Task Manager).
Are there any ways to prevent the IE from allocating so much memory?
May be I should make something special with the flash?

As I understand IE "preload" and possibly
decompress/decode whole the movie and then play it. But I can't undestand
the following thing. The movie is made from 532 240x180 pictures. So the total
decompressed memory we need is 240*180*4*532 = ~91Mb. But IE takes >130Mb
Is it possible to make the flash in such way that IE will decompress the movie
while playing frame-by-frame not whole movie once at start?

I've already tried FreeCharacter but with no success though :(
It frees only 2-3 Mb in this case.

Any thoughts regarding the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance.
