Anyway, nice work overall, Batty. You seem to be getting this Flash thing down. However, the thing you need to work on now is the application of animation theory itself. What version of Flash are you using? If it's anything above 5, don't forget that you have the "ease in" and "ease out" sliders in Tween motion. If you have 5, try using several slower tweens near the end of the movement or manually keyframing it in places to accelerate/deaccelerate. A trademark of beiginner flash animation is the very rigid tweening, where things are either moving at a constant speed or stopped. Little details like eased motion and moving things back before they move forward can add a lot of "life" to animation.

I tried doing a similar cloud movement with eased motion and treating it more like an alive character:
