People seem to have trouble with the easter eggs, so I'm gonna give some directions (I thought they were all so obvious):
Firstly there's access to the sound test hidden on the main menu. It's a small hidden button that's attached to the top left video screen. Mouse around the swing-arm joint.
In the Masking section there's a button in the shape of a lady's panties in the right side of the screen about half way down. You can click it at any page, but if you have trouble, flip to the page with the actual female figure and point to her nether regions. This takes you to a night club scene with some info on the music used in the tutorial.
At the end of the credits sequence there's a rather large button in the shape of a bar wrapped around one of the lines of text that hangs on the screen as the music fades. This will take you to an object viewer. You'll have a spy glass to view descriptions of some of the various objects that were made for the tutorial. There are several pages.
Also, if you're paying attention, there's several places during the tutorial where there's a funny-looking black scribble down near something. That scribble is very small text that you can zoom in to actually read about where to find the Easter eggs.

I liked it but...
i really liked it but for someone to be new to flash try and do this,it can be very intimidating and hard
It is a bit more advanced than the basic 'how to draw a circle', but I went on the assumption that by the time they got to this, people basically already knew most of the functions in flash.
On the tutorial page it's listed under artistic references, which it really is. Most of what it teaches is about how to make dynamic backgrounds. I did spend a fair amount of time with the first few lessons on how to use the tools, but I wasn't just showing how to use them, but how you can use them to make certain things.

Helpful but annoying at some points
Overall it was extremely helpful and i have learnt quite a bit from it, but what annoyed me was the Faires and the crashing plane, they werent really necesary, but thats all that got to me. The rest was perfect
Most of that I made to keep myself interested while working on the descriptions etc..
Look at the credits... they're completely overdone, but I had fun making them.

This is great!
I've always had trouble with BG's but now I feel more confident with them.
Overall, it's good, butI would have expected more than just six sections for it to be named "The big fat tutorial", however you seem to demonstrate all of these areas with quality.
I did try.
The sections I covered were based on suggestions made at the time... or queries on how to do certain things like the masking and rain.
