Hi Adam,

This is not true. I have seen many of your animations.


You stated an example but didn't post a URL.

Despite the fact you still are on a site that the MIME is not set for

Flash you could still post the URL with a note that the MIME is not set.

You are correct that Tweening does take more processing power than frame

by frame animations. I never sytated differently.

But you overstate the effect of Nesting on processor speed.


> Once you get about 4 levels deep it starts to bog significantly.

Not neccesarily!!!


> But eventually it (nesting) slows the proceesor down.

Of course. But good design for regular projects will limit nesting to

only a few levels deep (for most projects).


> I work with Flash on a daily basis

I spend most of my time with Flash.

And I too teach Flash.
