To the guy above me, (4urentertainment) one name:
Brad Borne. Amazing Programmer, Awesome Artist, Great Animator.
heh.
But to be more on topic here, i do know a guy whose pr'y good at animating, and is a fantastic programmer, and his art is pretty okay, i'll drop him a line to you.

I don't think you'll find anyone decent that can both program and animate efficiently, so you're looking to hire two people here.
What exactly does the work involve? How complicated are these projects and what is your budget? I ask because a lot of people come in thinking that a $500 budget would be enough to have custom game developed or something, when that probably would only cover art.
Good luck!

The projects aren't too complicated. If the person is primarily an artist, but knows enough code to make a working game, that should work. The games aren't too difficult to program; Working knowledge of the timeline from all areas within the game, making buttons, and making hitTests should be sufficient.
You are right about budget though; I'm not under the impression that someone would do it for $500, so, I am offering a bit more. I can give you more details in a PM though.
