Not that I'm aware of. &nbsp;Things on the timeline just compile down to binary anyway, same as AS. &nbsp;My thought is, that it's less intensive overall to use ActionScript. &nbsp;But it may just be the same.

I am working on a new Flash game, and have currently animated the 'peeps' walking using the actionscript Tween class. The movements are stored in an array and executed one after the other.<br />
<br />
However, performance is a big issue in this game, and I was wondering if it would be less CPU intensive if I created the animations in flash and then did a gotoAndPlay('walk') instead?

Which is faster - Actionscript Tween or in-flash animation?

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a cross-platform multimedia and software platform used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages and desktop and mobile applications and games. Flash displays text, vector and raster graphics to provide animations, video games and applications. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera input. The ActionScript programming language allows creation of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications and mobile applications.
