I think CSP is far less intuitive, and I use both.

Flash is pretty straightforward: the timeline goes horizontally for moving through frames, and vertically for different layers. If you have a background layer it essentially has its own timeline, and you can put another layer on top with its own timeline, and a foreground layer, etc. It functions like CSP but much simpler: a layer is a layer, not a frame (with folders serving the actual role of layers).

In other words say you want the background to just sit there the whole time, not changing. Drag the frames out. But you want the TV to be showing different images on the screen. Make a new keyframe to edit the image, or a new blank keyframe to draw something else entirely. Then there's a third layer which is the character watching the TV, and from the number of keyframes you can see he's moving more than both of them. Then there's tweens and stuff which is another discussion, but that's the absolute basics.
