What is the easiest way to learn flash?

I have tried many times to learn flash, and people keep telling me to do these tutorials, though try as I might, I cannot sit through. Either I have a really low patience tolerance, or these tutorials are just the driest thing I think I have ever had to read.

';create a circle in the stage';


';click the arrow tool';


';select the circle';

I read a book. It was easy once you see how they have it setup. I recommend starting with CS3 if you're planning to do AS. AS3 is way more organized than AS2 and prior.
