Flash mx 2004: no clue how to use

I just got macromedia flash mx 2004, and I don’t have a clue how to use it. I wanna start by redoing my website with it, so I have two questions.

How do I make drop down menu’s in flash? (and just make webpages)

and there’s something on another flash site I really like that I want to use but I don’t know how to do it in flash or at all.
