Towards the end of summer, I started learning Adobe Flash from scratch and after two months of learning, I built and launched my first Flash Web site a week ago.

Here is a little background of my Web design skill level before I started: I have experiences in using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS and have built two Web sites. So I’m familiar with Adobe’s interface and Web design and development, but never used Flash before.

I found a plenty of online tutorials that are extremely helpful. And I selected and organized them into my top 5 tutorials for the very beginners (like me) to build a Flash Web site.

1. Adobe Video Workshop Adobe itself is a great source for learning its products and this video inventory is great for beginners. Select “Flash” in the top left column, choose “getting started” in the top right column, and double click the videos in the center column and the learning begins.
2. Tutvid.com This site provides video tutorials for specific applications commonly used in Web design such as drop down menu and photo gallery.
3. Good-Tutorials This is a tutorial aggregator that organizes tutorials into various topics such as “Animation” and “Interactivity”.
4. Latest Videos This another tutorial aggregator focuses on video tutorials.
5. Flash My Mind If you want to dig into ActionScript 3.0, this site has comprehensive tutorials elaborating the AS 3.0. They are very well organized and easy to navigate step by step.

There are a lot more out there but this should be a great set to start with.
