hi,

do any of you know what the most efficient way to animate is? i.e. timeline, event timer with timeline, event enter frame with timeline, something else?

It depends on the goal. If you are making a game then enterframe seems the choice if you have object moving at unknown speed and for unknown period. If you know where and when your animation is gonna end then a tween should do it nicely. Using timeline is fine too but will make your file size grow.

You may check GoASAP (http://www.goasap.org/benchmarks.html) they've benchmarked most known animation engines for AS and have a nifty one of their own =)
