Nancy -
If you're trying to learn fingerings, flash cards are the wrong way to do it. They add a step between seeing the note and playing it. I began that way, but didn't progress until I learned to skip the intermediate step. That is, I learned to see a note and make the correct fingering. You go by how it feels, not how it looks.
As Steve says, the right way is to get a scale book and learn not individual notes but the finger movements necessary to go from one note to another. You learn to play in "chunks" -- to recognize a series of scale notes and play them in a single gesture -- a series of finger movements.
Music is about moving, not standing still.
