It works just fine on enterFrame.  But you will notice that the image 
lags behind a little when moving fast. The specific example I am 
thinking of is when you remove the cursor and set a sprite to follow the 
mouse (to make a custom cursor).

on enterFrame me
sprite(me.spriteNum).loc=the mouseLoc
end

Put that on any sprite.  Press Play.  Move the cursor around quickly and 
it lags a bit.  Change the enterFrame handler to prepareFrame and the 
sprite matches the mouse movement better. The same thing happens if you 
are trying to match the motion of one sprite to the location of another 
sprite.
