A search in google will bring back lots of pages on this. Did my suggestion
help?
Some of the bad effects of frames that I can remember are:
1. Search engines find them difficult or impossible to index (not sure why)
2. Bookmarking a page bookmarks the frameset not the page the user is on so
they don't get back to what they expected when they use the bookmark.
3. Users may follow a link to your site that takes them to one of your pages
on it's own i.e. not contained within the Frameset so they could be missing
vital stuff like the navigation page (frame)
4. Accesibility issues - not possible for text only or screen readers to
make sense of them (I think)
The list is a lot longer than this though!

Not sure, but wouldn't the .swf be downloaded once to a local cache on the
users disc (temporary internet files folder) so subsequent requests would be
quicker.
