On the front page, there are those little pictures with shadows under them. I was just wondering if those are made in photoshop or flash. Its pretty simple in photoshop but can it be done in flash?

If you are talking about the shadows around the content frames, then yes, you can do it no problem in flash.

Just use the soften fill edges command in the Modify menu, then delete the inside fill. You’ll be left with those frames.
