title: Free/Open Source Flash Builders?
body: <p>Hey guys! I'm just a student who's looking into building about 1 or 2 flash files that would need both the movie-making and actionscripting capabilities of Adobe Flash Professional. Problem is it costs $120, and that's a huge burden to me!</p>
  
  <p>I've did some research and found a few free or open source programs, but they are either:</p>
  
  <p>a) For making animations ONLY</p>
  
  <p>b) For writing Actionscript 3 ONLY</p>
  
  <p>So here's my questions:</p>
  
  <p>1) Is there any way I can make a flash movie using a program from a), and then inserting AS3 into it using a program from b)?</p>
  
  <p>2) Or are there any free programs that are similar to Adobe Flash Professional?</p>
  
  <p>THANKS!</p>
