So I've recently started up a class in Flash, and our first assignment was to get into it and create a short animation using frame by frame animation and shape tweening. This is the result of too little sleep and a deadline to meet.
note: I noticed that there is some weird artifacting when I exported this as a Quicktime file. Unfortunately YouTube doesn't recognize the .swf file that plays it more accurately. This ain't exactly Citizen Kane so I don't think it's that big a deal, but it is something to look into for future endeavors.
