    ok, first of all, to work with the movies, you need Macromedia Flash (not the player). Second of all, while it's possible to learn from tutes, i find i do best just sort of by experimentation, starting small and just doing different things.

    You may have to register, but it is free and they generally leave you alone as far as email goes.

    Dreamweaver = HTML Editor for making web sites
    Fireworks = Image editing Program

    The others I would not worry about.
