You are looking in the wrong place
Goto Help in your programe then there is a section called Guided
tour,lessons and also samples.
This is where you will learn everything you wanted to know to get you
started then from there once you master the basics look on the Web for more
advanced tutorials

At places like
http://www.flashzone.com
http://www.lunarmedia.com/asmussen/
http://www.crazyraven.com/Tutorials/
http://www.enetserve.com/tutorials/

>People keep referring me to the (in)famous TUTORIALS in Flash.
>It would help if the specific section was indicated.
>For the record I keep that page open and Alt/Tab to it always - step by
step
>- when trying to accomplish something.
>Alas, take the Basics - Overview for ex. - a few steps into it and it
reads:
>
>"Each frame in the Timeline represents a point at which the movie can
change"
>
>You click and the tutorial does several incomprehensible things.
>If I'm wrong flame the dickens out of me!
>It first goes and clicks in the timeline area of Frame1 - which isn't
active,
>current or what ever Hmmmmm, confusing ............. Then it zips up to
>Insert key frame and then over to "10" in the frame (I guess that's what it
>is because they never really show or tell you what or where a "FRAME"
>actually is)
>Now suddenly they leave the "Yellow" layer and the dark thingy just
>disappears and we are working on another object/layer that doesn't have
the
>pencil indicated etc. I have shown this section to several people and it's
>equally incomprehensible to them. Inconsistencies flourish throughout the

They
>say it takes YEARS to learn Flash basics!!! No wonder?
>Anyway several kind and patient souls have been very helpful on this list
and
>after many hours studying and swearing I AM in fact starting to comprehend
>what is going on. The moves do not coincide with the TUTORIALS and much is
>still unclear (see the Flash ng - I'm NOT alone!!!)
>Suggestion: A newsgroup for Flash Newbies!!! the current ng has over 3,000
>entries!
>Question: in the Help file under HTML/MOVIES is a certain nav.fla
>How does one see/break up the components to re-edit it?
