Lynda.com – You can get even more information on how to do these important Flash techniques from the Lynda.com video tutorials that are available to you. I recommend watching the series by Paul Trani, "Creating a First Flash Website with Flash Professional CS5". It is a great series of videos for beginners and he covers all of the necessary pieces to get started with Flash CS5.
