It's hard to find much help starting out. For what it's worth, I started learning Flash by simply playing through the tutorials over on Newgrounds. The problem with that is the assumed skill level is all over the map, so you have to hunt around to find one that's around your level. Either way, here's the link. Looks like they've changed a bit since I was last there.

BTW, there's three different programming languages in Flash - Actionscript 1, 2, and 3. That really tripped me up when I first started, as direct copy/pastes of code woudn't work on my end. Turns out I was trying to use AS2 code in an AS3 project.

If you've never done any programming at all, you might also try visiting code academy first. They don't specifically teach Flash, but they do teach javascript. More importantly, it's free.

Best of luck! If you have specific questions, try to post them here & we'll see what we can do. Just remember to keep any code dumps small. No one like reading through hundreds of lines of code, especially when it's not theirs. haha.
