    For creating sites you need to learn html coding. There are plenty of tutorials available online. Search for HTMLs tutotials in google. First learn Html coding. Dreamweaver is what you see is what you get editor. First of all you must understand what is HTML? For learning flash go through flash tutorials online.

    I'm not stupid. I know html for the the most part. And yes, I've searched for flash tutorials and whatnot. Honestly. I'm looking for specific recommendations, not vauge "help."

    Indeed there are lots of tutorials for Flash online but it's always best to have a structured approach to your learning. Learn the basics first by firing up Flash and hitting the F1 key and working thorugh the tutorials that come with it. After that, you'll be ready for some more specialist tutorials.

    I've found a lot of benefits by downloading movies from flashkit.com and disectting and examing the components.

    All the best in your Flash adventure!

    Get a book from your local bookstore on the basics of flash. Once the basics are clear, advanced graphics can be learnt online.
