There's stykz, but it's nowhere near a substitute for flash. It is free though!

Perhaps you'd like Pencil. I've heard some pretty good things about it, even though I've never personally used it. Here's a tutorial that a quick YouTube search brought up. If that's not right for you, check out GIMP. It's likely much more powerful, but it's also going to probably be more difficult to learn. Animation is handled by a plugin called GIMP GAP. It's extremely powerful, but you'd be well advised to look up any tutorials you can for it.
Yes, I have it in my dock. Thank you though.
I've tried that already.
It's like my grandpa always said, "The god of death eats only an apple."
Wow, thanks. Once I get the hang of this, I can probably start making some quality content.

Did you really? Cause if you did you would have found Pencil which was the first hit on the page. Your grandpa is wrong. It's death gods only eat apples.

I don't know anything about it, but I recall a program called Blender which is open-source and free.
Also, at one point Maya had a free "personal learning edition." I believe they still do.
Finally, while not free, I've always been impressed by Martin Hash's Animation Master. When you have a spare $300, it's worth checking out.
