Hey all! I apologize if this is the incorrect forum or even the incorrect question to ask.

I have Flash Builder, and I want to make 2d games. I understand that I will need to learn actionscript3, which won't be too big of an issue I don't believe. However, I am unsure how I can make 2d sprites and import these sprites into the game (yes make; feel free to point me to libraries, but I want to create original work).

I have heard that paint.net and gimp will work, but I don't understand how to get from these to flashbuilder and implement them into the as3 coding.

If there are any tutorials or places to point me, feel free to point away.

I have searched around the site and can not find any tutorials... I don't understand what "tweening" is either. I suppose this is because I am a complete beginner to game developing.

Learn to use google. I just entered "greensock, spritesheet" and found the folowing link.
