They are pretty minimal. I can do a fair amount with textual animation and basic graphical animation (eg a picture moving across the screen ) I would try and stay clear of offering clients animation for now in case it turned out unproffessional looking. Going to be learning a fair amount of Flash on a course starting in October. I reckon Flash is going to be pretty big in 5 - 10 years time. I know it's big already but when Broadband connections come as standard Flash should be at the forefront of web design.
