I love the idea of making games everyone would play, except i dont know any good, free ways to make a flash game. Any help or Suggestions? (no links with lists of them on it, or you can give me some suggestions about that.)
To make Flash games specifically, you need to have the Adobe Flash program. You can always try a 30 day free trial, but after that you have to purchase the program or lose it. You can buy a student version for cheaper than the professional if you qualify. But if you plan on making games and getting them sponsored, you would need to buy a professional version. Because if you plan on making a profit through the program you must have the professional version.

This isn't exactly true. There are many programs capable of creating SWF files. Adobe Flash is the best known, but it's not the only option.
Your best bet for making Flash games for free is FlashDevelop. Go here and click on the latest thread to download the latest version.
Make sure you check out the "Important" section at the end of that post. It includes a link to Adobe's free Flex SDK. You'll need that to actually compile your code.
Also, since you aren't using Flash, you'll have to do everything in code. It's more work, but you can still produce some great results.
Sites like PlayCrafter are capable of making SWFs, but you need to pay for that as well. Free, legal, and submittable; the 30 day demo of Flash is all there is.
Look up the Flex IDE. It's the best free solution. It's technically better than Flash for game development as it is made specifically for programming and all that other unneeded GUI and tools won't get in your way when your trying to program.
