flash actionscript : Dynamic Shared Library or External SWF?

I have an order form i am building
(http://www.printwerx.ca/mxorderform/OrderForm.html). This order form lets
people veiw what types of themes they would like to purchase. The problem is
that the themes are now so large that they are making the main order form
too large to load as a single SWF. So i was looking at moving the theme
components to an external SWF file.

I was using attachMovie and MovieClipLoader to attach the SWF that contains
the components but i can no longer seem to access the components via the
Linkages i set up in the external SWF. Is it possible to set up movieclips
in an external SWF, then load that SWF dynamically and externally, and then
reference the linkage properties of the movieclips within?

Or do i have to look at someother way of doing this? Maybe a Dynamic Shared
Library? I have never used them before so i am unsure of how i would go
about loading them up.

After rereading this I think i may have been a bit confusing.

My Current file has all the component parts in the main SWF file. What i am
trying to do is to distribute it and having no luck. Sorry for confusion.
