if your looking for a simple flash intro, i think there are a some "drag and drop" flash creators on the web. they are kinda crappy, but its okay for beginners.
the way i learned flash, and the way i suggest, is to download the 30-day trail, and play around with it. you can also follow tutorials on the net that help. the 30-day trial is plenty of time to get to learn how to use it and see if its right for you.
good luck with your page
