I have a portfolio cd which is currently set up using scenes to navigate to the different image galleries.
I also have a website which i did as seperate swf for each gallery for loading puposes and organization.

My question is:
I am in the process of updating the cd portfolio and was wondering if creating the galleries as seperate swf is a good idea or not?...as I don't want any lag or loading time in between going from main menu to gallery section.

As its currently as one exe, its loading everything from the start, if I broke it up into seperate swf I imagine there would possibly be a slight pause until the swf is loaded? correct?

Creating each gallery as a seperate swf simplies organization of the fla and updating it in the future is easier, but i'm concerned about any lag. (the seperate swf galleries would be 5mb-10mb in size)
