Hi Team. Is it safe to loop script in Flash (maybe a silly question, but I want to know from the pros). I have a piece of code that check if custom slider is dragged, then it moves the text to suit.

Inside script MC on scene, **frame 2** has this code:  
_Y = getProperty(’/dragMC/buttonMC’,\_y);  
newY = oldY + (Y - oldY)/12;_  
_setproperty(’/scrolledMCrecipient/scrolledMC’,\_y,newY);  
oldY = newY;_  
_play();_

then its **frame 3** has:  
_prevFrame();_

Is this demanding on the system memory?
