I have a userpage post that will hopefully get you started. But Flash movies and games are made with Adobe Flash or other programs that can export .swf files.

Step 1: get flash
Step 2: draw stuff on a frame

Repeat step 2 until desired result is reached.

Just please, please, please, don't submit your first three frame animation with a stick figure and go "YAY! FIRST FLASH! VOTE FIVE! :D :D :D"
This is annoying, and degrades newgrounds.

Nothing here that hasn't already been said, but...
1. Get Macromedia Flash
2. Create a file for a flash
3. Click the paintbrush(or pencil).
4. Draw.
5. Next frame.
6. Draw a slightly different picture.
7. Next frame.
8. Give up and go to tutorials section.
9. LEARN.
10. Create crappy flash.
11. ????
12. Profit!

Now, before you start making flash animations, you need to learn how to draw.

1. Learn how to draw a human, or inhuman life form. Which ever floats your boat, or teases your fancy.

2. Master your own style. You don't have to be COMPLETELY original. Just do what you think looks cool, and stick with it.

3. After learning how to draw, make sure you have confidence enough not to cower away from constructive critics that want to help you. The best way to improve is to listen to the people watching your work.

4. After you have completed the above steps, you're ready to take on bigger endeavors such as Flash Animation.

HOWEVER, you CAN learn how to draw IN Flash, so get the program first to get a feel for drawing with the mouse. You CAN draw with a device called the "Wacom Tablet", but that's if you have the money for such devices.

Start out SMALL, and work towards BIGGER things.
