really good
considering you say that you're new to flash, this is fantastic. as a user who has been judging flash on this site for several years, i can honestly say that this submission is better than most that i have seen come through the portal. the graphics and animation were very nicely done, earned you big points in my books. this will definitely make it through te portal, and will be humbled if it doesn't win an award of some kind. really, really well done. keep using flash.
