Free Flash Editor needed

[savio]

Hi,

I have to install macromedia flash or is there something small and simple and free I can download? Anyone know where I can find the best free Flash editor? Any other recommendations?

Well, there is nothing free for flash development when you want full featured, powerful tool. If you want some simple things tryout Flash MX 2004. It is Copyrighted by Macromedia. Therefore, they make sure that there are no free alternatives to their own product, they don't want to lose the money.

There are all kinds of softwares like this out there, some cheaper, not much free: called LiveSwif-Lite. SWF is the compiled flash, and shouldn't be touched, you need to compile your movie from the FLA file if indeed thats what you are talking about.

There are free/gpl software such as gimp, inkscape, 1stpage etc. Up until today, I still had not found a free swf/flash editor. you use the .fla to create your .swf. You'll have to install Flash to make the changes and generate the new .swf (shock wave flash) file.
