Do I need to stop a tweened movie clip if it's not visible?

Hi,

I'm a beginner.

I have a tweened movie clip (it has a changing alpha state that makes it fade up from invisible). I hide this movie clip when the movie starts (with "myMovieClip__MC.visible = false" at the top of the frame script. My question is this: Is this movie clip still tweening while it's hidden (and using processor resources)? IOW: should I hide it AND stop it at the movie start...or is that unnecessary because when it's hidden it's stopped?

Thanks

it's still playing and using some resources even if not visible and not on the stage or in the display list, but it may not be using that many resources.
