It depends what style of flash application you are trying to build.
Is the website to be arty "nonsense" or is it to be of actual use?
If it's to be a fully functional website you may want to consider using Flex instead. Flex is basically flash; the Flex compiler will produce a flash file for you. http

I think there are various Flex development programs out there which are probably free. Adobe have a paid for version called Flash Builder (http

These videos will give you the basics of Flex: http
