Having trouble opening a .swf in a movie clip

Okay, so I have been searching around quite a bit to get this figured out.

I have my main .swf file which is pretty much my entire site and I want to open a few other galleries separately to quicken up the loading time. So I created the galleries I want to open as their own .swf files. when I use the loadmovie command it will open the gallery but nothing from the original main .swf file is there, so none of the navigation buttons or borders are there so I can't go from gallery to gallery.

I am trying to explain the best I can, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it a lot.

Are you loading this new gallery .swf into an empty movieClip in the main .swf, or, are you loading the new gallery .swf in place of the main .swf?

If you are loading in the gallery .swf into an empty movieClip, is this new .swf physically smaller than the main .swf? Are you hiding the main .swf with the newly loaded .swf?
