Well Mark, you probably know what my advice would be.  Bitmaps 

(depending on how large it is).  First of all, it's spinning so you 

can get away with a lot less detail.  Secondly I think a clip of just 

a few images would do it.  I think flash would process the flipping 

bitmap frames faster than trying to manipulate all those vector 

objects.  I would use a clip of a real tornado.  There's lots of them 

around I would think.  Remember that Julie character on my site?  She 

a galaxy spining (morphing) into a human.  Similar.


Just my 2c.
