hi Elaine and welcome to the list.


Newbies are quite welcome here but you are smart to seek tutorials and

other learning aids as well.  There are lots of tutorials; a number of them

are included in Flash, others are often referenced on this list.

FlashCentral.com and Macromedia have good tutorials and pointers to other

tutorials.  Be sure to download the Flash manual in pdf format from

Macromedia, too.  While far from perfect, it is about as deep as any of the

available books on Flash.


As for how long it takes to learn:  however much time you have to spend!

you should be producing some simple animations and buttons in a day or two,

but the potential is unlimited.  I am learning as fast now as I did a year

ago.  If you enjoy a mix of artistic creativity and logical thinking,

you'll love it.
