Hey’a!

Does the onEnterFrame Function() slow down the computer as opposed to other methods?

Eg:  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
buttons(mytestbutton1, “Bleh”, “testingit.html”);  
buttons(mytestbutton2, “Bleh2”, “testingit2.html”);  
buttons(mytestbutton3, “Bleh3”, “testingit3.html”);  
}  
// On Frame 1 of the entire movie clip

or

Eg:  
buttons(mytestbutton1, “Bleh”, “testingit.html”);  
// Put into ActionScript on the desired frame, eg:20.

Just not sure whether I should use onEnterFrame so they are always accessable or to just call the function when I need it at that point in time.

Big question is, is there much difference between the two methods?

Cheers!
