If you want to get a good overview on the fundamentals of animation computer or otherwise then seek out "Cartoon Animation (How to Draw and Paint Series No.26)
Preston J. Blair" its only 4 quid on Amazon, but even so is the animators bible. It was drawn by one of the great early animators who worked on things like Fantasia, and MGM shorts. You can achieve a lot in things like flash making stuff move, but if you want to make a character walk or change expression or even talk then this is the stuff.
