I cannot add a stroke to a shape. When I choose a shape and then go to choose
the stroke color nothing happens. This happens to shapes that i've already
created, no-stroke shapes i create, or shapes I create with a stroke (stroke
works on shape creation) then remove the stroke, then try to add back.

I've restarted flash several time to no avail

changing the stroke color does just that, changes the color of the stroke. It
will not add a stroke if there isn't one. To add a stroke you need to use the
Ink Bottle tool (located just to the left of, or above - depending on your
toolbar orientation - the Paint Bucket) Simply select the Ink Bottle Tool and
click on your shape, and a stroke should appear. In my experience I have noted
that it doesn't always work on the first click, especially if the shape is
selected. I typically click off of the shape/deselect it, and then click on it
with the Ink Bottle to add a stroke.
