Flash Development Programs?
-
I’m looking into creating a website using Flash (also downloading and toying around with Microsoft Silverlight), but I’m not sure what programs I should use! The Adobe Flash program is… well, about $600, and that’s a little more than I’m willing to spend right now. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would Silverlight be better to look into?

only way i know of making flash stuff is…… by using flash lol
not sure if there is any free ones that do the same thing

Is that 600$ more than your willing to spend

Check out OpenLaszlo. It’s free, flexible, and you can compile the web applications to flash.

There are free alternatives, I used to work with them like 4 years ago when I was making websites in html and flash but I can’t remember how they were called. Anyway point is, there are ! And from what I recall they were also very intuitive and easy to use so just spend some time on google and you’re bound to find one such software that would please you.

I’d argue that the real thing is usually far more flexible than any other alternative you could find, I’m afraid. Silverlight is, in my opinion, far inferior to Flash.
If you don’t plan on using Flash for business purposes, you could look into an educational license, which is much cheaper.

No, not necessarily. I’m willing to hand over a little bit of cash, but $600 is just a little much. I’m looking closer to the $99 range max, you know?
I have been looking around and heard OpenLazlo mentioned before. I’ll definitely give that a look! I’ve also downloaded toolkits for Silverlight and AJAX, just to toy around with making a fancy flash-run-appearance website hopefully. This should be interesting to see how it comes out….
