Hi.

Here’s my question, in my shooter i got several ships i want for some of them little animations.  
As i dont get many frames for those animations does it worst the cost of doing sprite sheets and animation scripts for them or shall i import my images in flash IDE doing animations on the flash timeline?

Thanks,  
Max.
