@Choons: getTimer() is not at all related to the Timer class. The ancient getTimer() global function returns the number of milliseconds since the SWF was initialized, i.e. similar to the Date.getTime() method that you mention. It's actually very reliable and there is no reason for you to worry about inconsistent animation playback speed.
