Flash-esque program on linux?

[woodwizzle]

I'm thinking about doing an animation project. I'm looking for freeware linux software to aid in my venture. Something similar to Macromedia Flash would be key, but I'm open to anything remotely similar. The software just has to let me work fast and without much restriction. What are my options?

When you want to know about Linux applications, there are some places to get a good impression of what's there to get. The Google Directory can guide you to some of those places:
