There are a number of things that you will need to do to get started. Firstly, you will need to acquire the Away3D library, this is the suite of Actionscript classes that you can use to build 3D Flash applications. The library is held in a Subversion repository. If you are using Windows, I would advise you to install a copy of Tortoise SVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) which is a Subversion client that integrates nicely into Windows and allows you to pull data out of Subversion repositories. The Away3D repository is at http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn, you will need to ask Tortoise to 'checkout' that address.
Secondly, you will need a copy of the Flex SDK, which is another load of Actionscript classes published for free by Adobe which provides common Flash components like buttons and whatnot. You can get the latest version from http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3 Thirdly, you will need a Flash development environment and compiler. I recommed FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php? title=Main_Page) which is also free, and nice to use. When you first run it up, you will need to tell it where your Flex installation is, so do that first. Fourth, you will need to learn how to program Actionscript. Fifth, you might like to follow the many Away3D tutorials that are published on the web. The ones published in Flash Magazine are really good (http://www.flashmagazine.com/Tutorials/detail/flash_3d_basics/).
