Has this ever happened to any other flash author?
Let's say that you posted a really great flash that got hugely popular, yet you keep getting constant questions over the material you used for it. For example: "what is that song called?", "where did you get the sprites?", "where did you get the sound effects?" etc. You get these questions a lot, yet those users don't realize that most of that stuff is explained in the ending credits. Does this ever annoy you? You're not alone.
When I make a flash I always include where to get most of this stuff in my credits, in this case:
Sprites: Shyguy Kingdom, Spriter's Resource ,roms and emulators.
SFX: findsounds.com , flashkit.com
Music: depends on what kind.I Search for it on youtube
However, I do accidentally forget to write a few things down in those credits. I'm human, I make mistakes too...
Anyway, my point is that the internet, from my POV, isn't just about downloading stuff and chatting online; it's also about *doing your own research* based on what you're looking for. If I include something in the credits of a flash, it's for a damn reason: for you people to look it up.
I explained this to a lot of new users; apparently some are just too damn lazy to look for things on their own. Some even go as far as asking me to send them stuff through e-mail. I don't mind doing that every now & then, but new users shouldn't make a habit out of it.
Looking for material to work with in flash isn't always easy. I'm aware that it's really hard sometimes to actually look for something you really want, I've been through that too. However, if you know what you're looking for and where to look for it (through search engines and other sites), you'll realize that it's much more rewarding this way.
People need to keep that in mind. There's no need to depend on just one source.
If you're interested in something you saw in a flash, read the credits and do your own research. If the author missed a little detail about something that wasn't included the author's credits, THAT'S when you're supposed to let the author know about it.
Doing research is one way to understand how the internet works. You guys understand what I'm saying?
Of course, one last thing: always visit reliable sources. Otherwise you might accidentally download spyware, trojans and other viruses if you visit the wrong places.
Just watch where you're going and be careful with that.
