Wishing For Spring [ANIMATION]

EDIT: I've found that switching to another tab will have the music continue but potentially have the flash stop moving, so then the music would fall out of time even more than it already is from the animation. If anyone could give me tips on properly using music in flash, that'd be great.

[Music: The Place Where Dreams Come True II - from Clannad OST Disc 2]

The picture used in the preview is seen around the end of the animation.

This is one of my first (sort of?) full animation-- done in flash. It lasts about 3 minutes, but contains a lot of 'looping idle' kind of things. This was done for an assignment in my animation class, and I thought it was nice enough to share with you guys. I'm not sure how 'good' animations should be, but I'll let you guys decide on that. We were given the theme 'Spring' and were expected to make something based on just that-- storyboard, character design and all that jazz.

It's about a girl who lives all alone and looks for 'something more' than the unsaturated world of Winter. The animation should tell the rest.

I'm no expert at flash, either. If there's problems with the music or some gripes with how things were done, sorry bout that.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy. It took me a really long time to put together. I'm just a beginner, pretty much, so a lot of basic techniques were used. The music was just thrown in since I couldn't find time to compose my own music, and doesn't line in like one might expect from better animations.
