Suggestions for good Flash Development Software?

[sfklaas]

Hopefully hints and tips to this thread can lead me into the direction that i'm looking for.

I want to create a flash movie/slideshow for my site. I came across software ranging in prices from $40 to $700. My first question is to those who have much experience with flash software that can recommend a software to use that works well with zencart. Hopefully one that is inexpensive, but does a great job. I saw Adobe professional for $699 but thought that was a bit out of my budget. Does anyone have any recommendations of software to use that can still do a great job?

My current site is www.bendisskin.com where i attempted to use a demo flash program, however it creates an extra slide as an advertisement which is a pain.

Zencart has nothing to do with Flash, you can use any software you like. There is no specific requirement.
