No, a 'Flip Summon' is a manual change from face-down defence to face-up attack position in one of your main phases. If the monster is flipped from an attack, or by an effect, then this is a Flip, but not a Flip Summon. Therefore regular Flip Effect monsters like Night Assailant will trigger from being attacked, but monsters that require Flip Summoning like Guardian Sphinx will not.

Does flip effects work from special summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?
A flip effect only works if you flip summon a monster, or if your opponent attacks your face down monster (granted they don't have an effect that negates the activation of a flip effect monster or destroys it without flipping, like Drillroid) Most special summons require the monster to be face up, therefore not letting the flip effect to have a change to activate.
Can you activate torrential tribute or bottomless trap hole when you attack a face down monster with high defense?
Torrential Tribute and Bottomless Trap Hole can only be used in response to a monster's summon. Attacking a monster does not summon it (note that if the monster is face down, this is a Flip and not a Flip Summon).
Do you also negate a monster's Flip Effect if you negate its Flip Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?
This depends on the specific monster and its abilities. If a monster's summon is negated and the monster destroyed, it is likely that its effect was never able to be activated in the first place. In this case, its effect would never have applied
Can you flip summon a monster that you set that turn?
Generally, no. Synchro Monsters are initially Special Summoned FACE-UP. Therefore, there is not a need for it to be Flip Summoned. However, that Synchro Monster may be affected by a card effect such as Book of Moon. In this case, the Synchro Monster is changed to face-down Defense Position. You can then Flip Summon it when possible.

Can you have a flip summon and normal summon in the same turn?
Yes, this is legal. You may perform one Normal Summon or set per turn, and as many Flip Summons as you wish.However you cannot Flip Summon a monster Set that turn, nor if you Flip Summon a monster, turn it face-down in the same turn using an effect, can you Flip Summon it again that turn. Lastly if a monster declares an attack, and is flipped face-down in response, it cannot be Flip Summoned that turn.

Torrential Tribute and Bottomless Trap Hole can only be used in response to a monster's summon. Attacking a monster does not summon it (note that if the monster is face down, this is a Flip and not a Flip Summon).
What is the difference between flip and flip summon in yu-gi-oh?
If a face down monster is attacked, then it is flipped for damage calculation, if you flip summon, you do it by choice during your turn. Flip counts for both. For Flip cards like penguin soldier, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is activated. For Flip Summon cards like swarm of scarabs, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is NOT activated. Both types are activated if you flip summon it. (Also flip activates after damage calculation if you are attacked, so if penguin soldier would be destroyed by the attack, he can't return himself to your hand because he is already destroyed)

Can you tribute summon a monster and then special summon?
You are allowed as many Flip Summons and Special Summons you want as long as there are monster zones available. A tribute summon is counted as a normal summon, and you are only allowed one normal summon per turn.
Can you keep flipping your monster to use its effect?
Depends, if you've got a way to keep Setting it, then yes, you can flip summon it again when you next have chance to. Obviously even if a monster can flip itself down, you can still only flip summon it once per turn.
Do you have to re-tribute summon a monster if it got put face down by book of moon?
Tribute is only needed for the monster's Normal Summon or Set (or Special Summon in special cases). Flip Summoning does not require any tribute at all, regardless of what monster it is.
Can you manually Flip Summon your monsters the same turn they were Set by your opponent's Book of Eclipse during your Main Phase in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Yes, as long as the monster wasn't summoned in that same turn. If you summon a monster, and the opponent Sets it, you can't flip summon it that turn. If you'd summoned it on a previous turn, and the opponent Set it, then you can Flip Summon it.Book of Eclipse is best used in the battle phase, since the player has to wait until main phase two to flip summon, missing the chance to attack.
