My fingers don't move together on the higher notes, how do I cahnge this? no matter what, there's always a couple of fingers that refuse to move with the others to the next note (and it's pretty fast so it messes up the runs altogether)

1)Make sure that your hand position is correct. If not, your support of the flute gets in the way of your dexterity.
2)Always work slowly to fast. When playing slowly, practice moving your fingers quickly. This means to hold out until the last instant and then move to the next fingering.
3)Work in sections & small groupings ...even if it's only two, three or four notes. (for example F#3 > A3) Be creative in your practice and make up small exercises to zero in on your specific issues.
4)It does not hurt to exaggerate the lifting of the fingers to develop strength because that is where the weaknesses are generally is located.
5)Practice different articulations and rhythms. Slurred practicing is important to spot finger issues. Most quick passages generally have less complicated rhythms. -like all 16th notes. Try using dotted rhythms. Long>short>Long>Short. Reverse the dotted rhythms to play short notes before longer ones.
6)Practice these things above with intent to improve your playing in some aspect. It is a form of physical exercise. Pay attention to your product.
7)Do not practice your high notes loudly. It's damaging to the aural senses.

Thanks for the detailed tips Bilbo. but i notice an annoying problem with my F1 to A1 and F2 to A2...my forth finger in my left hand cant seem to lift with the second finger on the right. i practiced this like you said, but when i put it into context in the piece, it bloops again.
