Interestingly somebody else asked the same question in another forum ( a closed one ) I'm a member of.

Here is the list they came up with.
http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/flashtutorials.html
http://www.video-tutes.com/
http://www.layersmagazine.com/category/tutorials/flash
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
http://www.layersmagazine.com/
http://gotoandlearn.com/
http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/flash/

They all raved about this site - chargeable though
http://www.Lynda.com

Hope that helps.

Nah, it's not an MS competition

It's actually a competition for Arriva :lol:
http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/content.aspx?id=5172
"Arriva will launch the winning game, which must be bus themed and playable on a PC, on its new website." Says in the specs it has to be in Flash and a certain resolution, bus related etc.
