Starting from nothing...

[AmbusH]

Basically I haven't got a clue about Flash. Great way to start, eh?

So, the main reason for this topic is to ask all the programs which I should be using. Obviously, Adobe Flash would be one of the common sense ones, but what else should I be using in line with this? Dreamweaver? You guys tell me, 'cause your the smart ones ! lol

Uhh you wouldn't need dreamweaver to do flash movies, maybe to put them on your website but it's not needed as such.
you could use something like illustrator to make sprites and stuff.
since you're just starting though,
just go with flash and try some tutorials at kirupa.
good luck

Yeah, flash is basically all you need. Well that and Notepad. Then your good to go!

Dreamweaver helps, but its not necessary.
And yeah, check out Kirupa

It's a great place.
