A word about Flashkit - make sure to check out the forums and follow links to individual authors sites.
The real meat to that site is the authors on the forums, and many of them have individual 'example' sites that explain how to do the stuff you just can't figure out. Two people you might want to watch for: Joshua Davis and Colin Moock. Their work is great and they like to put up _very_ easy-to-understand examples.

There are plenty of good tutorials out there. You can't expect to be walked completely through the learning process. You have to find and learn some of this stuff on your own. Otherwise everyone would be a flash guru.

The tutorials I've tried to work through are either totally incomprehensible to me because they're expressed in jargon, or they claim to be tutorials but aren't . . . they are only examples. And you have to have extensive prior knowledge of Flash to be able to make head or tail of them. It's unusual because there is a wealth of tutorial material for beginners on ColdFusion, but no one has put anything for beginners that I've seen about flash. Is anyone aware of any beginner material on flash? (I've asked this before and was pointed towards flashcfm.com but I didn't find anything there that I would call tutorials. Only examples. "Look through them and you'll work it out" I was told. Yeah right. If you know plenty before you start.

I'm the Flash evangelist over at CF Dev and what I love the most about Flash is the possibilty of building forms with advanced state management and validation capabilities in a fraction of the time it takes to do the same thing with other technologies. These forms require less code, are cross-browser compatible and easily scalable (clustered servers). They're object-oriented forms and the probl em has been that it is very difficult to do the first time. I'm guessing that Flash MX/CF MX will make this development much easier a nd therefore strengthen CF. And Flash and Neo..... Don't get me started!
