I have a flash movie, and I decided to learn how to use the tween classes in Flash 8. I think, however, that somewhere along the line I got carried away… and my script seems to run very slowly, even on 50 frames per second.

[http://hguk.net/~jonbid/scripted.html](http://hguk.net/%7Ejonbid/scripted.html)

I have not yet been able to figure out a way of making it run faster.

I have used functions and called them using if statements on buttons.

Anyway here is the bulk of the script, which I think is the problem, I have also attached the fla.

```auto

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
myframes = 18;
open_portfolio = function () {
    mov_port._visible = true;
    _global.mylock = 1;
    var greyTop:Tween = new Tween(top_part, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, top_part._y, (top_part._y-100), myframes, false);
    var greyBot:Tween = new Tween(bottom_part, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, bottom_part._y, (bottom_part._y+100), myframes, false);
    greyTop.onMotionFinished = function() {
        var portAlp:Tween = new Tween(mov_port, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, myframes, false);
        var greyTop:Tween = new Tween(top_part, "_x", Bounce.easeOut, top_part._x, (top_part._x-160), myframes, false);
    };
    greyBot.onMotionFinished = function() {
        var greyBot:Tween = new Tween(bottom_part, "_x", Bounce.easeOut, bottom_part._x, (bottom_part._x-160), myframes, false);
    };
};
// end of open portfolio function
open_contact = function () {
    mov_cont._visible = true;
    _global.mylock = 0;
    var greyTop:Tween = new Tween(top_part, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, top_part._y, (top_part._y-100), myframes, false);
    var greyBot:Tween = new Tween(bottom_part, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, bottom_part._y, (bottom_part._y+100), myframes, false);

    };

```

It is rediculously long… 😟

Any ideas on how to get rid of this slow jerky animation? or just reducing this script?

Any help is huuuugely appreciated
