Lately I've been wondering, "what do people really want to read about?" and then it hit me. Flash animation tips would interest me so why not everyone else. So here it goes.
10. Tweens are over rated. If you really want a good complex animation you should really go frame by frame.
9. Remember to change your frame rate for smoother animations. 30 fps (Movie quality) and 34 fps (TV quality.)
8. Don't underestimate the power of masks. They can really help out for scrolling animations.
7. Action Script is your friend. It's useful in condensing your time line.
6. Organize all of your symbols in your library from the beginning. It makes it a lot easier to find things later on.
5. Always add a way to change the quality of your movie. You never know what kind of computer your viewers will be using.
4. Don't go overboard with gradients. Nothing shows that your a noob more than using gradients where a single color would suffice.
3. Only use up to 3 different fonts on one project. If you use any more than 3 you will start to lose the sense of unity.
2. If you're making a big project in flash, draw out your plans on paper first before ever touching the computer. I promise that your projects will come out looking twice as good as they would have otherwise.
1. If you're going to make something, GO ALL OUT! Don't hold back because you don't know how to do something. Look up tutorials on-line, there are a lot of helpful ones out there.

Rays Top 10: What not to do in a Scary Movie
As I was watching some scary movies this week I've noticed that there are certain things that people always do just before they pay the piper. So I've decided to let you all know in case you find yourselves in a similar situation.
10. Never say "I'll be right back" because you won't.
9. Searching for something with the lights off.
8. Separating from the group (duh!!!)
7. Following a ghost who you think is someone walking funny.
6. Locking yourself in a room with sharp objects.
5. Using a dogie door in a garage door as an escape route.
4. Standing and screaming at the killer.
3. Letting your girlfriend/boyfriend go to the bathroom while you wait in the other room.
2. Poking your head into a closet when you know someone else is in the house.
1. You lose your virginity you lose your life.
