I believe that "Ming" (http://ming.sourceforge.net/) might allow one to 
compile swf's under Linux (GNU/Linux for those who care), but I suspect 
actionscript has progressed a bit since I last decided it (Ming) was too 
hardcore for my requirements - most suitable for code artists without 
deadlines, and best thought about while using your "30-day free trial" of 
the Macromedia product.

IIRC various Xara (vector drawing) apps would output swf's, but I don't 
think they did more than rollovers and simple animations, and of course 
they were not OSS in any way.
