I would suggest searching for Actionscript tutorials. In general you'll find that forums are much more receptive to questions where you have a specific problem that you're trying to code rather than a blanket question.
In terms of AS3 tutorials, I suggest looking for Flex Fighters by Matthew Casperson. It takes you through building a vertical scrolling shooter.
Flash's built in help file is a great source, and although it won't help you with specific application of commands, it will give you a good foundation for understanding the language.
