Mistake #1: Not using Movie Backgrounds.
---
Never leave the background empty - always use a background color or
background image for your flash movie. Adding backgrounds is easy,
just click the background tab and drag your favorite background to
the filmstrip (filmstrip is the long rectangle at the bottom which
shows the frame previews).
Using the same procedure, you can also set your images as movie
backgrounds too.
Mistake #2: Forgetting to add music.
---
A good background music can make a difference of day and night in
your flash movie. To add background, just upload an MP3 file to your
toufee account, and drag it to the filmstrip at the bottom.
Mistake #3: Using too many effects.
---
While playing with the fx can be a lot of fun, using too many
effects on every item in your movie can be a bit distracting
overall. Our experience is that simple effects like "fading" look
more professional than jazzy effects like "raindrops". So unless
you are making a flash movie for your own personal use, it's always
good to stick with the presets tab.
Mistake #4: Not using text backgrounds.
---
If a text item inside your movie is unreadable because of the
background color or picture, you can use text backgrounds to
resolve it. Using text backgrounds is easy as explained in our
support article here:
