    The 31 for Mac's isn't documented by Macromedia/Adobe. I think someone made that up and a lot of ppl have just followed it during the years.

    Frame rate: Depends on what you are trying to do and if a high frame rate is necessary. For example, if you have a ton of stuff going on and a lot of objects bitmaps etc, then a lower FR would be ideal (18 FPS). If you are using simple stuff and mainly vector objects, then you could get away with a high FR (30 FPS or higher). Also, depends on what kind of computer you might expect ur demographics to be viewing it on. You can go high, but ur asking Flash to compute a lot of stuff a lot of times per second. I would try to base your code or animation on time instead of frames, this way you can adjust the FR later on during testing.
