CreativeCow.net: Answering Forum Posts
So I’ve been frequenting creativecow.net and answering questions there. As a way to help out that large audience and to keep me sharp.

From After Effects to Flash
A book not out yet but looks to be promising: http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590597486 Video is one of the hottest things on the Web today, and a lot of web developers want to use it to produce mind-blowing interactive experiences for their users. However, there is a shortage of information on how best to do this; friends of ED aims to remedy this with books like From After Effects to Flash: Poetry in Motion Graphics.After Effects ands Flash represent the most obvious choice of technologies to work with web video—After Effects is one of the most popular video editing tools available, and Flash provides the perfect platform for deploying video on the Web easily and efficiently. This book, which supports the latest versions of After Effects and Flash, provides the world’s first and best guide to marrying these two technologies together, starting by taking you through the creation of a video project from concept right through to upload, with emphasis on making your workflow as efficient as possible. The rest of the book focuses on specific techniques and special effects that you can walk through and build and then adapt for use on your own projects.

Use After Effects to Transform Flash!
http://www.drwoohoo.com/store/AE2Flash-Transform/AE2Flash-Transform-Product.html With this plugin you can take the Transform Property Keyframe values, eg., the x- and y-Positions, out of Adobe After Effects, bring it into Flash and map it to the properties to:
1) replicate the AE transform in Adobe Flash;
2) replicate the process of mapping Expressions to sprites in AE; and
3) expand the capabilities of Flash. If you so desire.
