Wow
For a first flash project, this is fantastic...you could have submitted this without saying that this is your first and I don't think many people would have even thought that. There were a couple minor things I did not like, but let me start with the good first.
The animation was pretty good and was definitely fluid. Through the movement and animation alone I could tell you probably put a lot of work into this. The dream sequences you came up with were also very cool. I especially liked the growth sequence. And props on the music. Each song fit each segment perfectly. However, this will lead me on to one thing that bothered me; during the pain sequence the loop you used was a bit choppy. It was still a great song for the sequence, but its choppiness kind of broke it up so the sequence wasn't as powerful as the other two.
One more question...why give the kid two different color eyes? I'm not saying its bad, I'm just curious.
Anyway great submission.
