To begin working with flash please download one of the following programs:
LiveSwif Lite- Select this software if you would like to work with a simple, free program that is easy to follow. This software is great fir beginners, however, only available for Windows Operating systems but it is a great place to start. You will be able to use this software for multiple projects and expand your FLASH knowledge without spending a dime. To download the software click here.

I have created a tutorial and slight expansion of the help file for this program. If you wish to follow along with the original help file, you may download it from the following site:

For all you Mac users out there, and all the tech heads as well, if you are up for a more complex, versitile FLASH experience visit http://www.macromedia.com and download the trial version of FLASH MX. You may only use the software trial for 30 days but if you are only going to be the mastermind behind one project that is plenty of time.The trial version comes with its own tutorials that work wonders in showing you the basics. Visit the links below for more in depth information if you wish to really get creative with it.
