Flash vs flex for Android development

I saw several videos using Flash and others using Catalyst / Builder. I'm not sure what to start learning, I am very interested. I'm comfortable with the flash (and I have a new 5.5-creative), but it looks like the linker / catalyst will eventually be more powerful.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of them (is there anywhere that I can read about it if it is too long to answer?)

Are there any good websites or books that really delve into the actual code from beginner to advanced? I don’t even know where to look, the documentation is just very overwhelming. how would you even recommend starting? I do not want to get into bad habbits. that is, to study in Flash, then find out that I am limited by the program or studying bad coding methods.

Short answer: Flash CS is a tool for creating animated / visual elements. Flash Builder is a development tool that allows you to create code to make everything work. They can be used together or not at all.

Flex is a user interface infrastructure that runs on Flash Player to quickly create rich Internet applications. It is a very developer-oriented language, but it has some style / skinning.

In any case, you will need Flash Builder if you want to create some kind of complex application, since the code editor in Flash CS is shit.

I have never used Flash CS and do not know any resources, but you can find them on the Adobe website.

I understand books better because they are more linear than the web, and therefore not so overwhelming. If the information in these links seems overwhelming to you, I'll start with the two books mentioned.
