My students are animating three characters on a card by hiding and  
showing .png images against a background.  Each character has a dozen  
moves or so, and each move has between 5 and ten frames.  Each figure  
is approximately 400 x 600 pixels in size.  My question is which  
would be faster, having the frames be separate image objects and  
using hide/show; or having just three image objects that draw their  
contents from images on another card with a repeat loop and something  
like...

Put image "p1punch" & frameNo of Card 2 into image "Player1Main"?

Speed is important because we are starting to reach the limit of the  
computers' ability to display the images.

	Thanks in advance,
