CUTSCENES

Well, cutscenes can be a complicated thing. It really just depends on all you want to do.

It mainly involves Events and Switches.

Here are some that should help you with some of those things:

http://www.blade2k.net/writings/0/1/3/writing_63 - Moving Events

I found them here: http://www.blade2k.net/writing.php?type=0%2C1%2C3&submit=go

There are probably more I am sure that will help you, I would recommend looking through them.

I think we need a sticky in this forum linking to beginner tutorials so people can not only make fewer topics for questions that have already been answered (like this one) but more importantly so that they can get their problems solved much more quickly on their own than waiting for someone else.

I agree.

Normally, I would create cutscenes running by a single event that inputs all of the commands for the scene. For example, the main event would control all other events, such as the characters on the map, or even shifting tilesets, to messages. That eases the reliance on other events so you don't lose track of the order of the event commands in your cutscene.
