The entirety of this was made over the course of the last seven days. I'm actually really surprised at how efficient I was here, since I managed to get around 25 seconds done each day.
Even though the actual animation is not pristine or anything and the frame-by-frame is sort of choppy and shaky, I'm proud of how this turned out, mainly due to the atmosphere of it and the story. I think this time it actually has some meaning behind it. Also, this time I actually have some REAL INSTRUMENTS in the music. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? OMG. Except I mixed them in with synthesized versions of themselves so it's occasionally hard to tell. Oh well.
Also, sorry about the ads, but you know, I try to make a little bit of money off of these when I can.
In newer versions of Flash (and older versions too, I think, although I haven't tasted it with anything earlier than CS4) you can import a bitmap to the library and use that as a fill just like you would use a solid colour or a gradient. In the colour panel, when selecting a fill type, just select "Bitmap" from the dropdown list and you're good to go.
