While moving animations and tweens off the stage does clean up your 

design and make editing much easier, I have found that animations nested 

in symbols require a significant amount of processor overhead.  If you 

have a very complex processor intensive movement it's best to do it on 

the main stage to help avoid bog.  Nesting a tween within a tween will 

bring a processor to it's knees  and going as far as three to four 

levels deep will drop your frame rate into the 1-2 fps range. (Unless 

you have a very powerful machine)
