I'm learning alot so far but i have some quick questions

1. Should i use actionscript 2 or 3.0 from the menu and is there a command reference anywhere online?

2. At what point in your movie clip should you put stop(); after tweening?

3. What do you put when you put an image button imported or text in actionscript to load content? Ex: If i click View My Pix the pix content should show

4. Need a tutorial on music actionscript tags

5. Is the instance name you refer to when programming in actionscript?

Either 2 or 3 should be okay, depending on personal preference. Just be aware that the two versions of the language are different, so the resources you have on hand will most likely be geared toward one or the other.

Actually, that's a better response: go by whichever one your resources use.

Use Actionscript 2, as it is much more straightforward than AS3. Use the menu, until you are familiar with the commands, and their results.

2. At what point in your movie clip should you put stop(); after tweening?
On the end frame. (Furthest dot to the right)

3. What do you put when you put an image button imported or text in actionscript to load content? Ex: If i click View My Pix the pix content should show
There are many ways to do this - I personally do it by creating a movie clip with the content in question, in the specified area, with Actionscript. Although this is a little advanced for beginners.

Actionscript.org

5. Is the instance name you refer to when programming in actionscript?

Yes
