when am i supposed to use alternate picking and when should i sweep-pick?

I'm trying to learn these 2 songs, and some parts of the songs are too difficult if i'm not sweep-picking. Do i need to practice more, or is it ok to sweep-pick?

The reason i'm asking is because i feel like i'm "cheating" in some way when i sweep-pick, or when i use hammer-ons and pull offs instead of playing each note.

B.t.w. the songs are : Yngwie malmsteen - vengeance and Eric Johnson -cliffs of dover.
