want to be web design expert. Where can I learn through video tutorials.?

I want to be really good with in a year. I wanted to take weekend classes local but found nowhere offering it. I tried taking an online course but it is just a lot of reading. I need to learn either in a class or with some really good video tutorials. Are there any websites that offer this for freee or dvd I can buy or even video classes? I need to learn Design, Web design, CSS ,some basic programming and flash. I learn html on my own but 5 or six years ago and I have been out of it for a while.

1. Youtube is a one of the best places and so is http://www.tutorialized.com/ which ive used to learn some stuff. Though i find books are best. Dreamweaver CS3 Bible and Flash Professional CS3 Bible are two of my favourite and most helpful books. Or...you could get a degree/other qualification in it..? G'luck
2. You may be technically competent within a year but you will be a million miles from an expert. Be a little realistic. And you'll need more than Flash and CSS to be an expert. Try SQL, PHP, ASP.net just for starters. To be a good designer takes years (if you're lucky) of practice and experience. Too many self-taught "web designers" think they're awesome because they make EVERYTHING on their web pages stand out. This is very poor practice. A web designer needs to know how to communicate effectively with graphics. A graphic design course will see to that for you. But don't expect to learn it all in a year. Everything else you mention can be learned, to a reasonable level, in a year with the right attitude. The O'Reilly books are your best bet for that. Set yourself pretend projects and when you get stuck, refer to the books. I don't know of any video tutorials. I prefer books - easier to quickly refer to a particular subject with a book. www.w3schools.com is free, but only skims the surface of each language it teaches.
