The first thing I would suggest is learning to make a preloader. It makes you look much more like you know what you're doing and it lets people with slow ocmputers, such as myself, know that the movie is actually working.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not into sprite movies, so I can't really give much critique on this. The movement was okay, considering you're a beginner. Be careful with the explosions though. It kind of bugged me that they appeared behind the character they were blowing up; they'd actually just send pieces of the character flying around the screen, if you want to get technical about it. Next time maybe try putting them in front?
The other thing that really bothered me was the long stretch of nothing when Goku appeared. Try to make transitions shorter.
Not bad at all for a first flash. I've seen some horrible, unspeakable things that were passed off as first flashes, and this doesn't fall under that category =) Keep at it.

Author's Response:
Sorry about not having a preloader, but this was the first time I opened flash so making this was a learning experience for me. I honestly forgot about a preloader until upload and couldnt move all of the frames up 1 in order to insert a preloader. Sorry about the explosions, again the whole layer thiong confused me at first but Im getting better (IMO.) Transitions were generally a time of me attempting something new but not exactly knowing how (resulting in extra frames.) I've seen some terrible first flashes too and thanks for not catagorizing this with them. My next one will be 9000 times better, I promise.
