Just for the record (and anybody that's interested), you can make Flash games for free, legally, with FlashDevelop. It uses the free, open-source Flex SDK from Adobe and basically gives you a coding environment to allow you to write your programs. It has code completion, syntax colouring, and compiles your stuff easily. The only problem with it is that you'll have to get your graphics elsewhere, since it can't make images or animations like Flash can. Still, I use it for all my coding, and only use Flash for graphics or controls when I need it.
Just so you know, I'm not being paid or anything to write this, just thought it might be helpful for people interested in making Flash games. Although the majority of it is based around AS3 coding (which comes along with the Flex SDK), it's also a really good IDE for other languages like haXe and HTML, or Flex if you wanna use that. You can see how to install and set it up here.
