In "Curious George: Learning Flash"

I rarely do this, but; Here is a sample of my work

Those are all good recomendations. Based on your stated goals, you should focus on animation (motion/shape tweens) simple timeline scripting(gotoAndPlay/gotoAndStop) and movieClip control. These three techniques are pretty common, and are all that are required to build page like the runners homepage(in terms of techniques, you still need to get the content). In terms of other applications you can use it again depends on your comfort level. You can develope all of your content in Flash, or import it from Illustraitor or Photoshop. You amy also want to give livemotion a whirl. A far superior animation tool, especially if you know After Effects. its main weakness is scripting, but it supports the kind of thing you want to accomplish. Good Luck

Do you have any experience in the application already? Do you have any samples of the type of thing you would like to accomplish? I have been using Flash since it was future splash (oOOo street cred) and I teach it at a local Collage, so I know a thing or two. Depending on your current level I can suggest some site,books etc... Also, how much time do you want to invest in learning? Flash is quite a complex application that can do some rather cool stuff if you put the time in.
