My Technical Professional Development

In thinking about what areas I'd like to improve my technical skills, I'm drawn to animation/graphic software. I've used TechSmith's Camtasia before for some simple library tutorials. Here's a link to the first tutorial I created in Camtasia a couple of years ago: Finding Full Text Articles in PubMed. Like I said, this was my first attempt at Camtasia and producting tutorials, so please be nice :-)
I like using Camtasia because you can do some nice editing/mixing and select various output formats. Building off my experience with Camtasia, I'd also like to know how to use Macromedia/Adobe Flash for animation and tutorials.
So, my broad goal is to learn how to use Flash. I'll use my new skills to create some kind of library related tutorial, probably related specificially to this course.
I'll start by completing NetG tutorials 15027 & 15028:
Macromedia Flash MX Part 1 - Flash MX Fundamentals
Macromedia Flash MX Part 2 - Animation Basics

I'll post more about this as I further develop my plan.
