My experience has been that content loading from a local drive will cause the player to freeze until the entire contents of the asset is loaded into ram, therefore making it impossible to show loading progress. This is of course unlike loading an asset from a web server where showing load progress works quite well. If your asset is large enough (+8mb) it can start to really cause problems where the flash player freezes up and the user is left to wonder if the app crashed.
If your large swfs are video, I suggest converting them to FLV and use netStream and netConnection objects to stream the video in. This will alleviate the problem.
