The first site I found and explored was flashkit.com. This website has a plethora of resources, including tutorials, free flash animations, sound FX, and written reviews of other Flash-related technologies and resources. It has a forum where Flash designers can ask questions, request help, have discussions, and etc. It also provides another forum, dubbed "The Lounge" where just casual talking is allowed; no Flash-related issues. This site would be useful for pretty much anybody, professional or beginner.
The second resource website I found was entheosweb.com/flash. This site has resources available for other Adobe products as well, but it's Flash section was what I looked at. It has tutorials for some of the basic steps, like bitmap tracing, drawing in Flash, etc. It also has detailed guides for more difficult effects, like making a static image of water give the appearance of motion/rippling.
ffiles.com is a repository of free flash files. They've got files for pretty much everything: buttons, actionScript, animations, clocks, games, image effects, etc. Great resource if you just want to download some cool effects, or play games.
This weblog has some good, basic tips for working in flash: pat-burt.com/adobe-flash.
pearljamtengame.com is a really cool puzzle game made in flash.
saizenmedia.com/newsite/works/ is the website of a digital media agency that makes interactive experience websites, mobile applications, illustrations, TV ads, 2D/3D animation, print campaigns, social media games and applications, integrated campaigns, etc. They might not be flash-specific, but they doubtless use it in some of their projects.
