A few suggestions for you:
1.) For the real simple basics of Flash animation, the Flash program's tutorials are really very good when you're first learning the software. (Flash MX or MX 2004)
2.) Check with your local community college and see if they have a continuing education class in Flash Level 1. I teach it at my community college, and the cost is only $69 for an 8-hour class.
3.) If you want people to treat you with respect and give you good answers, ask specific questions, don't resort to name-calling, and treat others with the same respect that you want to receive.
Cheers!
