Hmm...
I'll give you a five because when i started out, I stunk waaaay more than they say you did. If You started out like this then I'm sure with a little bit of practice, you might be better than Xefpatterson and his Cliff.
The water and the fire stuff sorta reminded me of Runescape a little. The sounds did anyway. Other than that, you did pretty good. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
Im not exactly..good at animation but I know how to do it..it's just that, I shake with my hands so when I use flash, I can't get a steady drawing. Anyhow, if you need help don't be afraid to ask.
