Tips & Warnings
Less is more. Use Flash sparingly for maximum effect.
Site the Flash movie slightly away from pop-out navigation or text buttons to avoid their being inadvertently masked by the movie file. Flash files occasionally migrate to the top layer of elements on a page and may cover any animation under an overlap.
Double-check that you are connected to the Internet before publishing the page.
