im building a flash website, but im having some concerns about how much use of the timeline is professional.

should i be using the timeline only for the introduction of symbols to the stage and leave animations to actionscript using a series of tween transitions and timers, is using a combination of the timeline and actionscript for animations better and common with flash web developer?
