Building flash site... look

I am building my own flash site. The only problem is that I'm not too crazy about the graphics I've created in PS. The template itself doesn't look that professional, but I think it will have to do for now. I'd like to hear whether or not you like it and which you prefer: blue or black background? Thanks.

Even if you hate it please tell me which you like better blue or black - thanks.

P.S. The buttons will be rollover drop down menus. The top content box will probably have info about the site, while the bottom content box will be a journal of recent updates/a blog. Also, I've added a scroll bar and some other stuff in flash.

Black all the way.

P.S. Where would I go to learn how to do something like this? Thanks.

Basically, the idea behind this is that you create a template in photoshop. This template makes up the background, content boxes, buttons, banners, etc. in your site. Then you go into flash/html and mess around with the extras - making links, adding text in the content boxes, making page transitions, rollover menus, etc.

To learn to do the photoshop, you could read a few template tutorials. If you just google "photoshop template tutorials" you should be able to find something. To do the coding you need to know a bit of html (if you want to do html) or flash (which is harder).

If you really want physical links, or any other help totally feel free to send me a PM. I've got probably 50+ favorites about this stuff... lol

And thanks for your opinion.
