Lesson 1
The default stage size is 550 x 400 pixels.
The minimum size is 1 x 1 pixels (which is pretty useless);
the maximum is 2880 x 2880 pixels. This will force you to design your game within this limited stage size.
Bucket tool can't fill - solution:
Layers can be used to create your background, middle ground and foreground.
Tween
Should you want run the .swf file independent of the Flash,
you can use the Flash Player (Stand-Alone version).
Jpeg Versus Png for Game Sprite
Sound
Convert to a Retro 8-bit sound file
Video
Flash is a poor video editor. I would suggest editing your video using a better video editing software before importing it into Flash.

Useful Tool

Common Bug
*Remember your _Root when you are refering to object on the stage of your game.
*Import MP3 Error: Right-Click, Properties, Details tab, Remove Properties and Personal Information. Then try to import the copy of the MP3 again.
If the above solution does not work. Import the MP3 into Audacity and export it again.
This will require LAME to encode the MP3.
The above approach converts the file to a .wav format.
* Frame label cannot be numbers only.
* Instance name of a movie clip cannot contain all numbers.
Q: My score cannot add correctly?
A: You may need to convert the text into number; using the Number() before any addition is done to it.
