troubles with flash

So I am very excited about using flash, but now that I have it, I realize that I have forgotten how to do a lot in it. It's been months since I've actually used it. I do have a really good book for flash tutorials, but I don't have it available for me to use it right now. Even though I am a little bit discouraged I want to work really hard at trying to figure a lot more stuff out, and hopefully my new project will get better.
