If I may interject on the subject of framerates...
setting a high framerate isn't a guarentee of fast playback in flash. It should be thought of as the maximum playback speed possible. Flash won't drop frames to keep the rate, it plays/draws each frame as fast as it can, up to the maximum. If a tween is running chunky @ 24fps, turning it up to 40fps plus probably won't help to smooth it out. Remember also that NTSC (American tv/video) is 30 fps, and you can't see 'between the frames' with that standard.
In my experience, the best way to achieve smooth motion is to manage your symbols, tweens and programatic motions as efficiently as possible. Keep overlapping motions to a minimum.
No matter how hard you try, some clients will still drop to 10 to 12 fps for even the most simple motions.
