Please keep working.
This is one of the best "first flash ever"'s that I've seen. Please keep trying to expand your flash skills. I actually laughed out loud at the end just because I was impressed at how well a lot of it turned out. As far as the stick animation goes, please refer to http://www.stonesbucket.com to see what you could do to improve on that. It actually was not bad at all considering that it's your first flash. Also, work on transitioning. I know that flash makes you want to rush. It's sometimes really tedious. However, in order to create a truly visually-attractive flash experience, try watching some animations that are really good. They take their time on transitioning from one thing to the next. It keeps the animation from feeling "jumpy." I would recommend watching this:

for a really good example.
As for everything in the way of "ideas" and "originality," people are going to want more than just a stick fighting on a computer screen. In short, "it's been done before." A LOT. Everyone (or at least most everyone) eventually makes an animation like this, however, try to broaden your horizons next time. Try to make something TRULY original that NO ONE has thought of before.
Anyways, I personally think that you will be able to go far on Newgrounds and one day maybe even the Front Page. However, you'll have to work for it.
