Preloading images in Flash

I am making a Flash app to rotate logos as can be seen on: http://www.james.nedlinux.com/logo_rotator.html.
The colored blocks are jpg images that represent company logos and they are loaded into the Flash application from an XML file using loadMovie.

How I implemented this:

I have a movieclip which is twice the size of my Flash file. The right part of the mc is not viewable because it is on the right of my viewport. I load every new logo into this right part. Then I play the mc that will move the logo into the viewport during 30 frames. The left part of the mc is now not viewable. Then I load the same logo into that left part, so I can move the mc back to the right in 1 frame without noticing. Then again a new logo is loaded... etc..

Problems:

1) Every logo is loaded twice everytime is it shown (appear and disappear). Is it possible to copy the content of a movieclip to another movieclip?
2) When the cyclus ends, I don't want to load all logos again for the next cyclus. How to fix that?
