Every so often when I'm working amongst my fellow flash developers, I'll notice something strangely... inefficient.
A poor sod manually aligning a movieclip to 0, 0, or turning on bitmap smoothing via a series of unnecessary menus, or even setting a movieclips' alpha to 0 with a (gasp) slider.
It's at this point I tap them on the shoulder and mention a plugin which has changed the way I work every day; Queasy Tools.
This baby does a lot more then mentioned above, it's great for setting custom easing in one click, copy and pasting positions of movieclips, converting text to all caps or all lower case - the list goes on. So if you don't use it already, do yourself a favour and grab it here:
