A tutorial for studio mx.....thats a bit broad as you could take extensive courses learning each individual program in that package. Its not something your going to learn with one tutorial.

First check www.macromedia.com they often have video tutorials on how to do certain things. Second look through the manuals and get accustomed to the interface and I know for a fact flash has built in beginner tutorials.

For Flash:
www.flashkit.com / www.ultrashock.com / www.were-here.com / www.actionscript.org

I would look into some books on each app or one of the big studio mx books at your local book store. or check out www.lynda.com and get a membership for a month and use their video tutorials, they are really quite good and its worth the money.

I just wouldnt expect to learn all of those apps in and out with free tutorials on the internet in a reasonable amount of time.

Yeah, those on-demand tutorials are great but they only scratch the surface. Dreamweaver on its own is incredibly complex (not to use, but to fathom), but definitely start there. Also grab a tutorial book, I started with Kristine Awnne Page 'training from the source’ for Dreamweaver (ignore her chapter on CSS it’s crap). I guess it depends on what you want to master first, StudioMX is such a great package.

Oh yeah, the problem I find with online tutorials per se, and using StudioMX, is the fact that you need to keep switching between screens, a dual monitor would help I s'pose, but generally it's a pain. Sometimes you can miss the detail of the instruction whilst switching back and forth. Most of the MX packages are resource hungry so running two or more (DW & Flash for example and an online tutorial) might cause problems for all but the highest spec rigs.
