New to flash - but need to build a site quickly

[matpj]

Hi folks,

I need to build a flash website rather soon!

I have dreamweaver MX 2004 and Flash MX 2004.

I want to have one of those 'loading' screens when users first click on the site.
I'm not sure how to do those. (I am a complete beginner, and I've just bought 'Flash MX for Dummies'!!
After the loader screen, I want to creata a simple site to advertise the charter company.

I don't know the first things about building a flash site.
Does the whole site get built in flash?
or do I create the index.html page in dreamweaver and just include the flash components that I create?
I've downloaded verious fx and buttons etc - so I was also wondering if these can be layered over other flash components?

so many questions, i'm sorry.
