Adobe's versions of Flash
I noticed that there are many people that are having export/publish troubles with Flash CSn. If CS3 or higher is giving you problems, try using the older versions of Flash if you still have them. If not, then good luck trying find them and getting them to work on Windows 7.

Bad Reviews
To all of those who got all upset when I write a negative review to a popular flash: Sorry for the pernicious presentation and to be honest I hate writing bad reviews. Normally, I usually like what I see/play/listen to, but then there's one movie/game that has excellent animation yet turns out to be lacking in the content/gameplay department. In other words, I can forgive one bad/bland submission, but not a consecutive string of them. With that being said, I try to provide tips on how to improve, along with being fair. (I'm not like Oney, Rtil, or the Street Fighter Chode guys.) In addition, excuse making isn't going to help people in this age. There's more to learn from Popeye than the following:
-Legendary Frog
-Video Comics such as Broken Saints (I find them to be extremely static and agonizing slow)
-The Latest Disney/Pixar/Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli/James Cameron movie.
-Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo
-Jazza
-The Simpsons, Seth McFarlane, and South Park
-Final Fantasy 7
-'80s cartoons
-Sirkowski, Snakejohnson, Ebolaworld, and Poxpower (Overrated losers with very little talent when it comes to writing and comedy.)
To put it another way: Study the right material!

Commercial Audio in movies and games
I usually don't mind commercial audio being used in flash submissions, but under the following conditions:
1. The song must fit the setting and situation.
2. It can't be the only music you use in a submission.
3. It just isn't right to post a copy-written song on the Audio Portal.
4. There comes a time when you must cast aside your music collection for better, royalty-free sound. Here's some musicians that are worth checking out:
