if i will to use quite a lot of motion tween in just 1 swf and i preload the entire swf… will it run smoothly over the net?? or will it slow down the entire animation depending on the connection still?
side track… i need to know if i can limit the number of lines in an input textfield… is it possible? like just 4 line downs… not the number of characters…
Well first of all, flash performance is based on the computer’s processor power. Once it is downloaded, the computer’s processor performs the calculations for the tweens.
If your computer is fast then the tweens will be smooth, but if the comp has a slower processor, then the tweens will be a bit choppy.
Overall, several tweens simultaneously playing at once will be more processor intensive than having several tweens, but each playing one after the other.
Make sure you plan ahead as to what you want to do and keep in mind about the things I just mentioned.

**then will it help if i do them in diff swf and load them into a main swf? or have all the motion tween movieclip stored within main swf? **
Processor performance and connection speed is 2 differeent things.
What you mentioned above only helps with the loading time. No matter where your tweens are, it will be the same.
The only way to reduce the strain on the processor is to do each tween one by one or reduce the amount of tweens you create.
