I don't know what it

I don't know what it is about Flash that I can't get the hang of it. I've now tried numerous times to pick it up, but I lose interest quickly (I find it incredibly time consuming and tedious) and I also forget EVERYTHING I learn, instantly. A few months ago I had so little work to do at my previous job, I got underway with some tutorials. Yesterday I played with the programme again and found out I had remembered nothing. Ayway, I ended up dumping some background music in gavinfriday.com using a tiny flash file. I would like to impress the, ahem, client with an animated intro - anyone got suggestions of what I could do that isn't too complicated and doesn't involve technomusic and swirling globes, i.e. is faithful to the style of the site?
