Here (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/) u can find an official Adobe learning video lessons "Learn flash in a week".
Good idea is to register in Adobe Developer Community and use tutorials and cookbook provided there, also download Tour-de-Flex (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex/)(Adobe Air installation required in order 2 run). I'm new to Flex and Flash too so these a ways I'm learning it). Good luck;)

And also there are cool lessons at lynda.com but only first 3-4 lessons are for free (anyway there are some ways to get for free all of the lessons ;) )

hehe thanks , I have gathered much tutorials about flex but none seemed to be intresting , cause I have been used to C++ so i wanna use that type of syntax thingy in it i.e i think you use the action script in it ?

[CreITve]

Right, AS3.0 but it's syntax is similar to Java/Javascript, which are based on C++. AS is really easy even without much c++ experience (i used to write in php a little bit), i'm sure u'll have no problems with learning it.

but I have one question i.e while reading the "Learning flex 3 by O'Rielly' there is some kind of syntax used for i.e
var name:string;

some sort of this . Why is this used in flex and what is that?is that AS 3 part in flex or XML ?

Ok, in Flex 3 u use 2 main languages - mxml and as3. That string like var mySock:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket(); is as3 and it integrated in mxml. I've sent my MSN in PM for questions)
