Total Newb

I just got Flash MX 2004 and...I don't know what to do with it. I am compleeeetely lost as to where to even get started. Someone told me it's a great program, and to get it as soon as possible, but once I did, they won't tell me anything. I've tried "just tinkering" with it and I am just as lost. I know this has probably been asked a million times, and that my question is very general, so for that I apologize. Pleeeease help whenever any of you get the time!
