How To Create Flash Movies Using Free Tools

Use The Gimp to create the images.

Use Netpbm to convert these images to SVG. To install netpbm you first need to install libjpeg from http://www.ijg.org and libpng from http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html, and libtiff from http://www.libtiff.org/. Remember you have to copy ALL the libjpeg header files to /usr/local/include and you also have to copy the netpbm libnetpbm.*dylib files to /usr/local/lib because the make install scripts don't do it for you.

Copy and paste certain parts of the SVG to an swfc script file.

Use swfc to create the flash movie from the swfc script file.
