FLASH: how to Pamper a Processor?

[J Bradley Johnson]

Does anybody have a list of what kind of graphics take the most processor time?

I know that gradients and alpha tweens are slow. Detailed line art 

slows things down, too.


I'm learning from trial and error; right now I have a project with 

gradients in the background. They don't move, but could they be 

slowing down the movie clips in the foreground? Or is it more likely 

slowing down because I have eight different (but simple) movie clips 

playing at the same time?


Thanks
