Hi all!

I doubt this forum is for beginners like me, but I will be very, very grateful, if some of you could help me with professional advice.  
I’m just starting with flash (have only been reading tutorials for 2 days) but I feel absolutely confused and lost ☹ The version of Flash I have is Macromedia Flash 8 (which is very old). Do you think this is a good version for a start and where should I look for some basic and useful tutorials? And also - I have to make a short video clip showing some stats, pics, and moving objects, adding some audio and effects. That’s all. Do you think Flash 8 is good for it or I am wasting my time.

Thanks a lot for all kind of comments!
