If you're interested in designing and programming flash games you're going to need flash to get started. Flash is produced and distributed by

Now you have a few options for purchasing your copy of flash. There is the option to just purchase Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5 (which is the latest version of flash I believe). You can buy that at from adobe at:

If you are interested in purchasing the entire Creative Suite 5 (CS5) I'd recommend the Master Collection. This is what I purchased initially. It gives you pretty much all the adobe products, and since these products can all work together, you can develop more advanced programs.
You can purchase the Master Collection from Adobe at:

But while you're on the adobe website feel free to look at other options that you might like.
Now there is one big issue with buying from adobe, its very expensive. The master collection costs around $2,000 and flash alone costs somewhere around 700 dollars I believe.
Not all of us have that kind of money at our disposal, especially if its a hobby.
So you also have the choice to download it through a bit torrent or through someone who's nice enough to have uploaded it to a download site for you.
I favor bit torrents just because virtually any program can be downloaded via bit torrent.
Bit torrents are free to download, so you get the program absolutely for free. Technically its not stealing because the files come over from different locations, bit by bit. Therefore its technically legal. While in a way, it is stealing, but legally its not.

Just type in the program you want to search for and click the Pirate Search button. Their site sometimes runs a little slow, don't worry.
I searched for Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I already found some options.
Here's a torrent for it now:

I'm not sure how it'll download, it may be in .zip or .rar, in which case you'll need the proper extractor to get the files. You can just google it.
Now once you have you're software it comes time to program. I don't really know a lot of flash (just barely enough to put together a flash website I made for my friend a while ago). So I can't help you a lot there. But I can point you in the direction of a few good tutorials on how to use it. You may want to invest in some sort of book on flash, but if not you can always look it up online.
If you have a basic understanding of how flash works, I'd recommend trying to follow one of these game tutorials, and if you can get it to work, then maybe experiment in creating your own. There's nothing like learning on the job. Here's the
