Even though flash has been around for almost 15 years, the job of flash designer is relatively new. Most of my time at Domani Studios is spent acting as a "bridge" between the design world and development world creating assets that would later be combined with action script and a bucket of other goodies.
Things have changed so dramatically, even in the past couple of years that it's become very important to understand both the design and development process. Setting up your file so that developers can easily use the animation and design assets you've created should be at the top of your list when you're starting a new project.
