    setInterval is much more versatile, and it's OOP [Object Oriented programming]. You can control its loop speed, independently of framerate, because its driven by time.

    It can loop only specific functions intead of a whole movieclip, if u want, it can include multiple parameters, specific of the funcions being 'looped'.

    onEnterFrame is considered by many [including Colin Moock, writer of the essential O'Reilly Actionscript Definitive Guide] an 'ugly' way to deal with dynamic loops, less versatile and constrained to the Stage framerate.
