Adobe Flash CS4 Professional

Starting experience required: Minor knowledge of Flash Price: $249.00
Supports the latest version of ActionScript: 3.0 Nothing quite like it in terms of functionality

Flash CS4 Pro can be daunting at times especially with its ever increasing feature list, but there simply is nothing else on the market that can match it in regards to functionality as well as expandability.

On top of its large list of features, this tool can also automatically export flash files to images, videos and standalone executables.

Antechinus JavaScript Editor

Starting experience required: Minor knowledge of HTML Price: $49.95
JavaScript runs on all browsers Easy to pick up and learn

JavaScript, one of the main components of web pages can also be used to make good web games quickly. The best game creation tool that I use for developing JavaScript games is Antechinus JavaScript Editor.

This Editor boasts quite a few features such as customizable code formatting, function collapsing/expanding and even debugging. The JavaScript Editor does however have a few minor problems from time to time but on the whole it works very well, and includes its own visual editing mode to make things even easier.

Sothink SWF Quicker

Starting experience required: Vague knowledge of visual design Price: $69
Many things are done visually Good user interface

Flash is a relatively new technology that is sweeping the world, with more and more users having the Flash viewer installed on their browser. Sothink SWF Quicker is a versatile Flash game creation tool among other things that is actually suitable for both beginners and pros of game design.

This program is almost like a simpler version of Macromedia Flash, yet it retains most of its functionality at a fraction of the cost. It however feels a bit bare in places but is overall good value for money.
