For the absolute beginner, staring at a blank work environment can be scary. Instead of the hidden possibilities, they see the emptiness and wonder what they can do to turn it into a flash game. The online flash creation tool Sploder could prove to be just the thing for those of you interested in testing the game design waters without getting in over your head.
You can create an account on Sploder for free, which grants you publishing tools for your game. You can then save your game to their hosted arcade, or copy an html snippet to embed the game on your own website.
I recommend Sploder for people who want to see results fast. You can literally be playing your new game within minutes of joining their site. Those who want more customization options or rights/control over their flash games may need to keep looking. Either way, it's a great way to play with popular game design concepts in a fun environment.
Price: free
Pros: extremely easy to use, show off your games on your own website, no monetary investment
Cons: you cannot export to flash (.swf), so your game will always be hosted by Splodr, and they hold the rights to your game so you won't be able to monetize, customization options are limited in favor of usability
