Whats the best flash website design programme?

hi there!! i want to design a nifty fun quirky flash website, but dont know html - what programme is best to use? I want to add videos, animations, a guestbook, background music, strange fonts, moving titles in short: the whole shazam....! i looked at some website design programmes like joomla and frontpage, but their website templates (samples) seem to static, business-like and a little boring....and i've got such crazy funky ideas i want to put out there, so i think i need a flash designer, right? (Not sure, i dont know anything about web design - though i can make great looking stuf in photoshop etc! :-) Please help, ill be eternally grateful!

1. To create a website you'll still have to use HTML or PHP or something similar. What you can do is create flash content to put on the site. Adobe Flash is the industry standard for creating flash content. You can get it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/ for $699. If you don't want to pay that much then one that I've got is Sothink SWF Quicker. It's not as good as Adobe Flash, but it's cheaper and it can still be used to create good content. You can get it from http://www.sothink.com/product/swfquicker/index.htm.] Also, having a website with lots of flash animations on can be too much. Look at all of the successful websites on the web and they use a plain and easy to read font, have few animations, and they all have a basic style that's simple and not too complicated, as well as being consistent throughout the website. I wouldn't recommend using background music either. I personally find it really annoying, expecially when I'm listnening to my own music while browsing the web.
