Answer 4

GotoAndLearn was mentioned above, and I wanted to say the the GotoAndLearn Forums have a great community (much like StackOverflow). Lee Brimelow has worked extensively with both Microsoft and Adobe as an evangelist and is very active in the community. There are also some very smart and talented admins/users answering your ActionScript 1,2, and 3.0 questions as well as helping to integrate Flash with other technologies like PHP, .NET etc.

Lynda.com has a pay for video tutorial library with some excellent sessions on all sorts of software and technologies. The videos can really jump start your familiarity and increase your comfort level with all sorts of programs very quickly. They also have some excellent examples available as a premium membership, but you can get a month-to-month membership for a little as $25. Flash is one technology they do particularly well.

Friends of Ed also has some great tutorials available as well as some excellent books they have published. They really take an Problem-Solution approach to learning, so there are lots of great samples that you can start using right away.
