Hereby a list of things I find daily in my job:
- Malicious code: Code in lots of items such as buttons, movieclips, etc. It takes a long time to see all the code. It should be nested in classes or just in some frames as much, but I find files with code in more than 50 places.
- Using variables instead of arrays. They usually use "Eval" instead of "for in". Using a lot of boolean variables.
- Bad terminology: Something like this: mc_car instead of car_mc. Same for buttons.
- Thousands of movieclips and items in the library instead of using dinamyc creation of them.
- Library Caos: It is not so difficult to make folders: img/sound/mc/buttons
- Excesive use of timeline instead of code. One frame is enough, a bit more depending on your preload (if it´s AS2)
- No version control. So you find files names like: car_definitive.fla, car_definitive2.fla, etc.
- Magic numbers instead of using constants or stage proportions
- Code not tabbed.
- Unnecessary spaces in the code.
- Nule documentation or no comments at all.

It's nice to know these things. Maybe you could provide more examples so the info would be more useful. Oh, and one more bad habit...not using spell check on your post. ;-)
One more, refuse to code in AS3.
