Flash Programming Advice

[Algren]

(i am not sure if this is not the decent place to post this question, but here goes)

I have some basic knowledge when it comes to C++ programming and i have made some C++ games too, like 3D ping pong, and now i wish to program Flash games.

Is there some (Free) software which allows me to program flash games and make .swf files from scratch?
