Tutorial?

I have yet to see any kind of game tutorial, and I cant find anything simple on Kirupa, only “Copy and paste this 100 line code and I’ll explain it later using references to things you probably have never heard of.” So can someone either a)give me the basics, and help me do stuff along the way or sumpthin, or b)give me a link to someting that does?

Basically the only things I know about actionscript are navigation.

I know some java and a lotta C++, if that helps…
