The PushButton Engine is an open-source Flash game engine. There are lots of great libaries for building Flash games; PushButton Engine makes it easier to bring them together. PushButton Engine is written in ActionScript 3, and relies on Flash 9 or higher. It officially supports Flex Builder, command line builds, and Flash CS4, and people have succesfully used it with FlashDevelop and other ActionScript development environments. More concretely, PushButton Engine provides some useful utilities (like an XML serialization/level format, logger and other debugging tools, time management, resource manager, and more), and a component system which lets you easily package game functionality into resuable modules. The component system draws on nearly a decade of game development history - you can read about it in detail in the Components section of the manual.

The Akihabara which you can download here is my personal dream too. It is a set of libraries, tools and presets to create pixelated indie-style 8/16-bit era games in Javascript that runs in your browser without any Flash plugin, making use of a small small small subset of the HTML5 features, that are actually available on many modern browsers.

WonderFl allows you to write, compile, run and share ActionScript applications online. It has a decent library of projects to search through, and you can create a fork from an existing project to build on it.
