Regarding flash content creation on linux there's also this:

I've used it (in python) some months ago to make some flash GUIs for a
client. If you're a programmer it's far easier to make stuff with this
than using the Flash application itself.

if i remember correctly macromedia's flash
licence doesn't
cover making player derivatives. you can create content
creation tools, but not players. i'm not sure tho. i just
heard that.
No, you're right, the official Flash specification is only
available to developers who agree not to make competing players.
Luckily for us, though, Gnash is a clean-room implementation as
far as I can tell.
Gnash isn't the first attempt at a free flash player, just the
one that's gotten the furthest along (though I can't verify that
right now because it requires OpenGL and my tablet running
Ubuntu from Emperorlinux currently can't do GLX and the pen
stuff simultaneously.)
