Hi all,
I’ve written a couple of tutorials to help get people started with Flash 8.
The first one deals with how to get up and running, publishing Flash 8 [Maelstrom] content from Flash MX 2004, and the second one goes in to more depth about the BitmapData class (this has just been uploaded, and therefore typos may still exist).
You can find them both here:

Please note I was not part of the beta testing program, and therefore haven’t had access to docs or feedback from MM. The info up there is certainly enough to get you started, and I believe it’s all 100% accurate, but please feel free to get in contact via my site if you feel you have spotted anything erroneous. It is not my intention to spread incorrect information 
Cheers,
Neil
