So I am floored by the speed that developers can get a new artistic medium, master it, and further extend it's functions in order to do new things that it might not have even been intended for originally.
Cut to the chase. The first Flash developing site I found when I started the class was this one: http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/
It's just a basic yahoo group that yahoo's company created to bring together Flash developers and give them a place not only to read, but also to find tutorials, upload their creations, find videos and other links to helpful guides on the web, AND be able to communicate through forums and chatrooms in order to more effectively bounce ideas of eachother. Communication is the basis of all learning, so a site dedicated not only to announcing new ideas, but to bring commentary into it is really useful!
Number Two: http://www.flashkit.com/
Flashkit. It's definitely more thorough and professional than the yahoo group, but it can be a bit overwhelming to navigate if you are a newbie and not sure where to start. They even have their own newsletter and job sections, which is helpful for those of us planning for some amount of professional work using Flash.
Three: http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/FuseFX.html
The Fuse Kit. It's a program that customizes tweening abilities in Flash. Talk about hardcore, they have special downloading add-ons for your add-ons! Talk about developing your developments. It's insane that there is a fuse kit for your fuse kit. Apparently this little program is an animator's best friend, because it is extremely specific at customizing just about everything you can do in Flash.
Four: http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1430209933
This is like an intro to web developing site. They teach you how to create Flash hacks, and more. They also are one of the first sites I cam across that openly hands you programming codes to create mobile apps.
