Advice for Scripting Animated Hair in AS

I’m doing an art project in Flash where I’d like to make realalistic line drawings of girl’s faces with lines represing long flowy hair. I want to make the hair appear to be flowing in the air as if a cool breeze is blowing on it.

I tried drawing these lines for the hair flowing in the air frame by frame, but it just doesn’t look natural. I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution I should do with Action Script. I have a couple specific questions in addition to my request for an AS solution to create the look of natural looking flowing hair.

  1. Can AS create photorealistic natureal looking hair?
  2. Can AS creates a natural looking animation of the hair moving in a sequential, breezy flow?
  3. If yes and yes, how can the file size be kept low while still maintaining the apperance of a photorealistic drawing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
