    you can get trial version of flash on adobe.com
    and no, it's not easy to make games. you will need to learn actionscript and also the flash animation basics.

    If you are looking to make some EASY flash stuff I would recommend the coffeecup software. It is pretty much point and click as far as making some effects that would be challenging in flash.

    As for games, if you want to do that forget what I just said. Get flash, and spend time learning the ins and outs of it. Once you know them, you will need to learn action scripting (which is the programming language flash uses to make things happen). When thinking in terms of games, flash is like any other program designer, there is the visual designer part of it, but you still need to code the backend of it to make everything work.

    flash games can be easy or hard, depends on the game you make. Rather than debate whether something is easy or not, just try it out without thinking about it.

    if u want to make 2d games, den try ur hands at a software called "Gamemaker" its got simple coding, not as complex as flash, but also not as powerful as flash too, but good for a beginner and u can atleast get a basic understanding of simple game design..
