Helping others with Flash

For the past few days I've been helping a friend on designing stuff in Flash.  I think it has helped me to sit there and talk someone through the steps.  I feel that I still need to learn a few more things before I can help someone else with everything they want to do with Flash.  Things such as slider backgrounds are still difficult for me to create.  Despite not being completely comfortable with this, I feel that I have more confidence in helping someone else now.  The more I work with others the easier I feel it will be to help them.
