adobe flash cs5 would be a good start? serif draw allows you to create animations but its no where near as good as flash cs5

Didn't realise Flash CS5 was free?
But if you NEED actionscript there are probably not many worthwhile alternatives.If you want Flash editors with animation etc to get started with, there are more to choose from - Swish is very popular and also Kool Moves.
Our contribution is Opus Creator and that's almost free as they've discounted it so much at the moment

FLEX is essentially free.
I'd agree Flash CS5.5 is the way to go though, even though it has a cost overhead its the best editor out there.
There is an alternative called Swish, I played with it years and years ago and it worked but was nowhere near as powerful as the official Adobe Flash editor. I don't think Swish is free either though.
If the OP is tight on cash or doesn't want to sink a lot of money in a tool he/she doesn't know whether they will use Adobe offer a monthly license to use their software now. I don't know how the costs weigh up though.
