Movieclips and Spritesheets (Texture Packs)

Hello my Gideros friends,
I've read a lot of docs on this subject but it's not clear what the best solution is.
First I have about 10 movieclips with an animation. Every movie clip contains
10 sprites. I want to support most possible resolutions with a maximum of
2048x1536px. I was thinking to use 2 sizes of sprite sheets (2048px for the
lower resolutions and 4096px for the iPad3). Starting with the lowest resolution,
the movieclip sprites are 324x324px so I can store about 36 sprites in one
sheet (3 sets of movieclip sprites). In that case I need at least 4 spritesheets.
To make a long story short, is it better to load the sprites directly in the movieclip
or do I need to use spritesheets? Some of the sprites have a lot of transparent
space, but they need to be exactly positioned. So I think that the total memory
usage will be almost the same when using spritesheets.
Thanks in advance,
Marc

The spritesheet side effect is that you have to load it all when you need it, also if you need just a small region of it. Could make sense to "group" together things that you will use together.
Best regards,
Marc
