For someone just starting out, I would recommend checking out haXe.[1] It's certainly not a traditional Flash development environment, but it offers some, to my knowledge, unique advantages in the space particularly in terms of offering multiple output targets. And it's got plenty of open source tools to help you along.
However, first I would ask myself "If I can't accomplish my goals in DHTML and Javascript, is the web the proper place to deploy my application?" I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular view in these parts, but it may be worth considering.
