Flash / Actionscript Mentor wanted

I have other programming experience (mainly C++) and am looking to do some Flash / Actionscript work. I could use a mentor to speed up the learning curve a bit. I would try and keep my questions brief. My goal is to be able to take just a few minutes chatting and save an hour+ of digging around I would have to normally do on my own. Given this, the ideal person would be familiar enough to not have to spend that much time researching to give answers. I would want to communicate over Instant Messenger. I have AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, Skype, and MSN -- so you can take your pick. Also, as I have the money, I may offer you some work possibly. Interaction first as a mentor will give me an idea of what you can handle.
