Does tweening take more space to do than to animate with AS?  
Also, frames that are not wanted, do they take space too?

I want to know because smaller the file faster the loading, right?

Right.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Tweening and extra frames take up more space, though I doubt it’s much.

true, but sometimes using lots of AS can be a bad thing if you want to use it a low (note i mean really really low) spec’d pc. of course i say this for completenesses (did i spell that right?) sake only, 99.99% of people don’t have to worry (although i have a couple of old pcs that would die trying to play McGiver’s footer)

It depends. Tweening can be more and it can be less. It depends on whats being done and how much code is being used to reproduce the tween action.

Krusader also makes a good point in that ASed motion is slower (or rather more processor intensive) than tweened.
