The reason I asked was that I have seen quite I few posts advising people to
do things on "prepareFrame", like changing a sprite's loc, blend or cast
member in an animation; and these are the same kind of things that I'm used
to putting on an exitFrame, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong...

Would there be a differnce between that and hiding it on an exitFrame (the
stage wouldn't be redrawn untill the playbackhead moved, right?)
I have a feeling here that I'm getting more and more confused....
