Adobe's own Flash Builder IDE for the Flex framework has actually removed its visual designer for the latest release. By contrast, we've extended the Amethyst visual designer. It can now be used to design form-like interfaces for ordinary Flash (non-Flex) applications as well as for Flex. There is a lot more than visual design in Amethyst 2, (...)

With the advent of HTML5, however, you now have a choice. You can either create Flash animations programmed with ActionScript or you can render the animations with HTML5 programmed in JavaScript.
