While it hasn't improved _that_ much, I can say that I'm making progress over my earlier efforts in Flash creation. I did a new intro "clip" for the groveyouth.com site. The youth room is painted a similair color with different colored blocks on it. I also used Flash to create a little banner on forestgrovecc.com. We also use it at work on our site to advertise various specials/etc.
I still haven't mastered the art of creating a complete website in flash - one that takes 5 minutes to load and has lots of techno muzak and fancy widgets flying every which way whenever you move your mouse. I'll have to take the "Crappy Website Design in Flash" course.
