Question : COMPRESS an SWF File... It takes too long to load

I made an image gallery. I've never had problems with this type of gallery in the past. However this one turned out to be 14.5MB.

So it takes WAY too long to load. You can see it here:

How can I shrink it?

It consists of 53 images... all 72dpi... and 53 thumbs also 72dpi...

The code I used is listed below.

Answer : COMPRESS an SWF File... It takes too long to load

53 images, how big are these images (what are the sizes in px width, height)...
they should be around 100K each, if you save them in 90% jpg mode...
can you please add a few jpg files here, or give direct links to the jpg files on your site...
