Topic: Questions from flash newbie

Hello, i'm an experienced traditional programmer very new to flash, i'm playing around with FlashDevelop.
I'm able to load some images, move things, capture user clicks etc, but i need some general advice.

I'm thinking about a card game. So i need say 52 png of the cards. Of course only a small subset is visible on the screen at the same time. What's the best way to deal with it? Loading all 52 png in 52 MovieClip makes sense ? Or is it better to load and unload them as they're needed ? Is there any performance issue ?
I hope my question makes sense tongue
Thanks
