I just bought flash 8 and i installed it and opened it but im not sure exactly
how to start. i want to get pretty advanced but i just want to start with
simple game making or something like that. i already have gotten very good at
photoshop so i wont need help with graphics. if someone would please explain
how i would go about starting that would be great.

Go to the Help Menu. Look at "Getting Started In Flash". That's an excellent
way to get started. There are numerous well-done tutorials. Then go find a book
for beginning Flash users. Don't think you can start right away with "simple
game making". You must start by learning all the tools, and then learning basic
Action Script. These can all be learned in a book such as the Visual Quickstart
Guide to Flash (if you can find an old copy for Flash 8).
If you're diligent and go through ALL the lessons in such a book (don't skip
any), then in about 4 to 6 weeks you'll be ready to start making simple games.
At that point you'll know enough that you can search online for suitable
tutorials.
