Hi Ben.


I would not necessarily say that.  Where the animation is nested should make no

difference to smoothness. The use of MC's is useful, however, for organizing

different actions, allowing them to "talk" to each other (via TellTarget

commands), and keeping the main timeline more orderly.  Also, by enclosing

animations in mc's, you then have the ability to reuse them, scale them, tween

the clip across the stage, plant the mc in a button state, and/or apply a color

effect to the mc.
