Ok, I suppose that's a good enough answer.
Just a note for future projects: it is more efficient to contain everything in as few .swf's as possible. The reason isn't only because of size, but also limiting the number of HTTP requests.
Say you have a total of 4 swf's that get loaded, each are 50KB. That's a total of 200KB. If you combine them into one, it's still 200KB (not accounting for compression), but it's only one trip to the server. Where, with example A, you have four round-trip's to the server - thus increasing your possibility of lag/errors.
As for caching... flash will automatically cache any swf's that are loaded. So, you could have a pre-loader on the first frame, load everything and then begin the movie. Then, when you load the movies in subsequent frames, you don't need to do anything - Flash will automatically pull from the cache.
Best of luck.
