Armor Games

The Flash player plug-in from Adobe is free. The program Flash from Adobe is not free and yes to some it is pretty expensive. But it isn't a program for unmotivated people, if you want to make games (seriously) then of course your going to have to invest in it down the line. You could download trails and have your school buy it, or even get a cheaper version for students if you really want to tackle it and don't have that much money. But keep in mind the amount of effort it will take is exponentially larger barrier than the investment.

I agree with Darkroot on this one. Most other Adobe software is just as expensive, but also just as worth it. Flash is extremely powerful and is pretty the only way (unless you are a computer whizz enough to outclass Adobe and design your own software, which I doubt) to make Flash (notice how they are the same name as the program) games. And how to make them well is to read a book.

Its a bit obvious, in a way,

Note: The book should be about How to Make Flash Games or How to Write Actionscript, not just any book.

Adobe keeps all it's format as closed source and proprietary to manage, almost to the point of crippling itself. It highly unlikely there will even be a good substitute plug-in never mind a whole program. The licensing on everything is too ridiculous to allow it.
