A movie clip costs 28 bytes so putting it in an MC doesn't seem like

much larger to me. However, if the file is big it might affect streaming

(also possibly it will have no effect on streaming) because a movie clip

has to load completely before it will start playing.


It is easier to do a certain number of replays if you convert your MC to

an animated graphic and after the keyframe you place the animated

graphic in you place the correct number of empty frames to allow the

graphic to play x number of times. Set behaviou as Graphic and Play

Once.

Avctually, you would be able to have more control with Tell target and a

movie clip.
