Adobe flash is EXTREMELY complex. In order to use it you will have to learn the ActionScript programming language, tweens, and managing the MovieClip structure.
It took me 2 years at a University to learn and become proficient at Flash. Start by buying a book on Flash and learning ActionScript, Class structures, the Flash Interface, Tweening, and MovieClip/Symbol management.
ActionScript is used to actually control the Symbols/MovieClips. Tweening is used to create the illusion of motion. MovieClips are the individual actions of the Symbols.
