…have to be almost over before the user knows what’s happening.
As soon as a user understands what’s happening with an animation, it has to finish or do something different; otherwise it bores. Seems obvious doesn’t it, but so many flash interface designs frustrate users because the animations are sluggish and boring.
Speed them up, or make them more interesting.

How about saying hello before launching into what you need? How about taking the time to learn some manners, and then spend some time learning to understand ActionScript.
Hope that helps!

hey,
If you have a teacher, use your teacher 🙂
I’d love to have the time to help you with your project but I’m very busy.
Find some tutorials, or ask your teacher to recommend some tutorials, and then read them 🙂
Good luck!

I recommend taking a deep breath, and then reading this:

The best way to get help from busy people is to make it very easy for the person you’re asking for help from. ie. link to an example of your project online – both a swf and an .fla zipped up, with _exact_ instructions of where you’re going wrong.
If you can’t pinpoint where you’re going wrong, then you’re not trying hard enough yourself.
Hope that helps!
