Thanks Amy. One thing to note, when you first start learning Flash, my experience at the beggining drove me up the wall to start with, animations within buttons and actions and symbols. Stick at it, and before you know it, everything seems to click into place and become clear. Patience is the key, as long as you have creativity. Sam's book helped me a lot. There is soo much you can do with flash, it's not just a tool for animation, but you can also use it as a development tool and eventally create things like flash games as you probably already know. Will mark this one as Answered.
