Lots of focus makes this good.
Most people dont spend more than a month on a flash before they submit it, so most of the time those movies come out bad in the end. This looks like it was perfected to the very last frame. Also for being a flash noob (don't take that the wrong way seeing you stated it yourself :P) This is fricken awesome work. Key to flash is taking your time. That is what you did it seems. Not a big fan of the tune you used, but I guess it fits the retroness of what you were going for. ****/5
