I see no problem other than that the tweening is of a pretty complex 

object, so tends to get jerky on a slower machine. probably also you're 

trying to play it before it's sufficiently loaded. Use Bandwidth Profiler 

(an option while using TestMovie) to see how fast this loads over Internet 

connections. Then simplify to reduce file size, or find a way to spread 

content download over a longer time.


You probably can reduce a lot of your elements to symbols for re-use, which 

will help. For starters, your main object is symmetrical, so you should at 

the very least chop it in half, make it a symbol, duplicate and flip the 

half to recreate the whole. But there are sub-elements that can also be 

used as symbols, such as the bracelets.


I think you'll need to do less tweening, however, unless your target 

audience all have fast computers with mid- to high-end graphics display cards.


Also suggest you use "start" instead of "event" for sound sync type, so it 

doesn't layer over itself. It's a pretty jarring sound as it is!


hope this helps,
