I've found anecdotally the onEnterFrames are less CPU intensive than a
setInterval running at a similar rate.
The cons of setInterval are worth noting, but if you're using a good OOP
code design, and you're strict about tracking your interval IDs, then you
don't have to be too afraid of
setInterval's use up next to nothing on processor, even if you have 20 of
them going. I find that the best judgement of which to use is the task at
hand.
Because framerate is for animation, I find it best to use onEnterFrame when
doing coded animation. Flash will cause an automatic screen redraw
