Project Overveiw

Hi all,
So in the past i have been animating using flash as my main tool. I got rather proficient at using it, and manipulating it to my needs. But a recent project got me stuck...and quite frankly, annoyed, as flash just wasn’t capable of doing it...well it was...but very difficultly. So then i stumbled onto MOHO, and so far, i am amazed at this program. I don’t know where it had been hiding, but i wish i discovered it earlier! So now i just have a few questions on how to achieve, what i want to achieve.
1. The animation has different characters, each with different voice over. Each line is a separate .wav file. As far as i can gather, i can only do one line per file, is this true? Unless i use a sound editor to link them all together and do one scene.
2. Is there any option like a library within MOHO?
3. On a switch layer, is it possible to have it cycle automatically through each layer as the animation plays.
4. Is it better to draw the characters in say Flash or Photoshop and then import the image and bone it, or better to draw it in MOHO.
5. Is it better to have the head and the body on separate layers, or all the one image. Does it depend on the type of animation? Say for cutout style animations, which would be best?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
