Here's a guide written by me...So to make flash

What Do I Need?
-Macromedia Flash 8 or MX 2004
-A Little Brain
-Time

INTRODUCTION:
Did you ever wanted to learn flash? Heres the basic way on how to use some buttons and how to make a basic animation, in this case we will make a bouncing ball!

Tutorial:
Drawing the Baloon:
Step 1: First of all, open your macromedia flash and create a new 300 x 300 pixels white doccument with 16 frames rate.

Step 2: Now, use the shape tool and select the circle shape and choose the colour you want, the ball looks better if you choose a gradient.

Step 3: Now click in the movie box(The white Square or the screen) and drag the mouse until you make an circle shape

Making the trajectory of the ball:
Step 5: Select the ball and press F8(convert to symbol), in the window name it "ball" and choose graphic.

Step 6: Now in the timeline select the layer 1 and then press the button "Add motion guide".

Step 7: Now select the that layer or w/e you call it, and choose the pencil tool, then choose "Smooth" from below all the tools.

Step 8: Draw the trajectory of the ball or where you want it to bounce.

Animating:
Step 9: Click on the first layer and drag it until the white dot or w/e it is that is in the middle of the ball is in the starting point of the trajectory.

Step 10: Now in the timeline click the 130th frame of the motion guide and press F5, Then search the 130th frame of the layer 1 and press F6.
It should look something like that.


Finishing:
Step 11: Now click the 130th frame of the motion guide(where the keyframe is(that black dot is called a keyframe))

Step 12: Drag The ball to the ending point of the trajectory.

Step 13: Now to finish the animation part: click the layer 1 and open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) and under tween select Motion.

Exporting and saving the movie:
Step 1: After you are done with your animation do this:
a)File>Save as>Save it where you want as a flash animation.
b)Click File>Export> Save it as a gif or an avi(depending of what are you planning to use it.

Step 2: GO and open your movie!---YOU ARE DONE!---

Writer Notes:
1- Be sure to press Control>Play before you save it to see if all works fine!
2- If you want to put your mvie in internet save it as a .Swf file.
