Is it hard to do Flash animations?

Question:If you're new to using Flash, it might take you a while to become familiar with the program. However, like anything else, the degree of difficulty to do something will depend on the amount of effort you put into it. If you make an animation where hardly anything moves, then it will be easy. On the other hand, if you try to make something kickass with a lot of realistic movement, then it's going to be a lot harder. The tweening that Flash does doesn't create realistic movement, so you'd be fighting against it the entire time.

It's not so much hard as it is time consuming. At my fastest, it took me 5 hours to animate a 20 second long clip, and the colors and shapes were incredibly simple in that piece.
