hm…heres a few. probably the most obvious one:
1. portfolio (what was your responsibility, references from the project)
2. experience - years, types of projects
3. interest in Flash/AS, why
4. familiarity with ActionScript 2.0, including classes, interfaces, events, and component development
thats all ive got now. search around the web and see what companies are looking for in applicants, i.e. on job offers posted.

Are the questions meant to get to know the developer for which you’d use questions like attuned posted, or questions to test the AS skills of the developer ?

1. Experience… ?
2. Knowledge… ?
3. Portfolio… ?
4. Age… ?
5. Height… ?
6. How many mice (computer mice) has the person switched throughout his career in computers… ? (the more, the worse. pro’s don’t use mice =p)
7.
# of fingers… ?
8.
# of toes + fingers… ? ( just to make sure )
9. What’s the most pressed key on that person’s keyboard? (If it’s Esc, he’s not the one)
10. “Do you work for free?”
=)

^ uh, lots of that is irrelevant, especially height, mice, and toes+fingers (unless its 0)
