flash imperessions

having just looked at flash and played around with it. Its what you'd expect from a adobe program in terms of basic set up and look with similarities to after effects and dreamweaver. The thing that will probably most give me trouble is the steps to get the animations down and when things pop up and how unlike after effects which does it automatically, you have to manual do it but beside the initial learning curve i should be able to get a hang of it for the project.
