Theres this sweet little animation software that's free now, and ya'll should try it.
Its raster based so it really feels like you're animating papertests.
Ive been using it to sketch out really rough animation ideas, then importing it into flash.. I think its awesome. It isnt as deep as Tvpaint, but its a good midlevel point for smaller stuff.

Sounds like a good tool to have in the box!
(btw, the Feed/notification system was down for 2 days, guess that's why no one's been visiting):
