tweening several objects

I prefer to do everything through AS and not interested in Tweening per ce
or other WYSIWYG.
So when modelling, say, a bottle, expoloded by a bullet, i.e. a number of
debris of different size and shape to move apart, I place every debris into
a separate movieclip, then position every debris-clip into a main clip using
attachMovie(), set initial coordinates and then on which debris set
onEnterFrame to execute a function to change coordinates.

Then I can reuse this explosion clip in other flash games by importing it.
My concern was, to make a good effect, the number of debris needs to be
large, and executing a movement function onEnterFrame for every debris might
slow down the computer.
I thought that through tweening it will be less of a burden. However in
another thread I read, that whether Tweening or AS, behind the screen FLASH
does the same job every frame calculating coordinates of every debris.
If this is the case, then AS is preferrable for me.

it depends on your needs and what you're most comfortable with.
for me, i go all out scripting unless neccessary otherwise.

see the Tween component in help if you are interested in tweening with scripts.
also, the _x and _y could also be used.
setInterval and setTimeout also good for moving stuff around time based.

Thanks, it doesnot confuse.
On the contrary, I now see that this is the only way to tell Flash with
which particle to do what. Otherwise Flash will get confused

make each particle a graphic then for each particle put on its own layer. for each particle right click the keyframe and select motion tween, then make a new keyframe and position the particle graphic in the ending animation position

hope that quick explanation didnt confuse you more.
