Hi,

When you have a lot of MovieClips or Objects (say 1000) which all have their own individual behaviour to the same, constantly changing, ‘global’ variable, would it be better to make a Class with an enterFrame to interpret that value and assign that Class to each MovieClip (so there is a 1000 enterframe’s running), or would it be more advisable to make an Array that holds each clip’s name, and make a one central EnterFrame that loops through that Array and assigns each clip it’s value?

Many thanks!
