Tips for using Flash efficiently on DevCon

So, Adobe asked me to get my “Efficient Adobe Flash Professional using” post to make the Developer Connection article based on it (thanks to Thibault Imbert!). I agreed of course) After some iterations of work on the DevCon article with great people from Adobe, it was released on 29 August 2011!
