Optimization for Flash

I was wondering. . .
Do you guys have any tips for making a flash movie run more smoothly on pretty much any machine (within the standard range). I know when I built a flash site it ran like crap on computers other than mine, but other flash sites that are far more complex run smoothy on just about any machine that I run it on. For instance sixtailer.com. Is it a difference of animating things in frames or making something move or animate using complex action scripting? I figure there is NO difference as the computer still has to render the effects just the same. However I could be wrong. So my question is, is there a way of optimizing flash so it runs really smoothly?

Does it have to do with animating using actionscript vs frames?

Does it have to do with the way a flash file is published?

Answers to these questions plus any tips that you could give me would be a of great help to me and possibly many others who are wondering about this same general concept.

Thanks a lot!

and experience with a plethera of different things which make subtle differences…

I suggest a search on the forums for the effect you want, then do the steps, asking questions when you get stuck.

lots of alpha stuff can slow stuff down pretty fast, especially if you are talking overlapping alpha graidents and such.
