There is a tutorial and some very useful links at:
http://www.thekjs.essex.sch.uk/yates/flash.htm

For absolute beginners, I would very much recommend the book Flash Right from the Start by FR Heathcote, published by Payne Gallway.
ISBN: 1-904467-39-3

i find the best approach is by doing, and what you can’t do or are struggling with, someone has already done it.

i find these are the best links for helping me out when in a sticky situation.

(also, you’d be surprised how useful the help is inside flash, normally has the majority of your answers licked…)

to tell the truth i was the same about a year ago i brought Macromedia flash and did not have one lesson and just played with it for about 6 mouths and now i can create animations, flash websites! and much more cool designs. It takes a long time but it is my fav software. if you are looking to build just a flash website i would not use flash as it can be complex so try moonfruit.com they build free advanced flash websites. in the next year i am hopping to create a flash tutorial website! so sorry ii wont be done yet. good luck.

Depends on the experience you have in web design? If you understand the web design, HTML etc, then i say just open flash, click around and make stuff, follow tutorials for flash menus etc. its how i learnt

Flash books are terrible and boring.
I recommend http://www.cartoonsmart.com, they have the best tutorials!

The built in tutorials and "How to..." lessons are quite good, but you'll need to buy it (Flash) first.

i found the book flash design for dummies really helpful but if you already have an idea on how to flash design then a more advanced book may be needed your local libary or WH smith or water stones should have all you need
