Little Guidance would be much appreciated

Hello guys,
I have decided to make this little game for mobile phones using Adobe air and AS3 and being pretty much a complete noob I thought I could rely on finding tutorials to help me finish it since its a pretty simple context.

ok, so I need to make a player that randomly moves throughout the screen at a set speed, (simple enough I thought) I couldnt have been more wrong!
I realised that the movie clip needs to hold an animation and the player needs to have a direction of movement i.e. his face needs to point in the direction that hes randomly moving, and play the animation of movement accordingly! if anyone would be kind enough to point me to a tutorial or guide that shows how to do this It would be much appreciated!

kind regards,

Roham
