Make a note of the length of your animation so far next to '1' on your post it note (you can find out how many seconds it is at the bottom of your Flash screen).

Experts - we need you!! Are you confident and willing to be an expert? Don't forget that there are Greens/Golds up for grabs :-) And if you are not confident, I want you to challenge yourself  today - can you try a new technique or tool that you haven't used before???
