I was just wondering what software, other than MMF or TGF, you peoples use. MMF is by far my favorite, but I also use:
NetObjects Fusion ( www.netobjects.com )A WYSIWYG HTML program that's really quite powerful, I use it for the non-flash parts of my websites.
3D Flash Animator ( www.3dfa.com )An easy to use Flash design tool that involves little or no coding. I used it to make www.keatontech.com and a few other, smaller, animations that aren't on the web (yet).
Serif ImpactPlus ( www.serif.com/impactplus/impactplus5/ ) A 3D animation tool that is really easy to use, and has some advanced features like Anaglyph 3D animation rendering. It doesn't have a very good 3D modeler, but it comes with a pretty big 3D object library and allows you to import DirectX (.x) 3D models. I used it to make www.keatontech.com/SKTL.gif (see a smaller version at www.keatontech.com/SSKTL.gif ).
Serif MoviePlus ( www.serif.com/MoviePlus/MoviePlus4/index.asp ) A Movie editing tool that has a lot of bang for it's buck. It includes an interface that is fairly easy to use, and has many advanced features like Chroma Keying. I don't really have any content, so I don't have any good examples of my own yet.
FireFox ( www.getfirefox.com ) How could I forget FireFox. Everybody here probabally knows what FireFox is, but if anybody doesn't, it's a web browser that's far better than IE and slightly better than Netscape of Opera. It just recently reached 100,000,000 downloads.
Open Office 2.0 ( www.openoffice.org ) Open Office is a free, open source program that has nearly as many features as Microsoft Office, and crashes much less. I use it for Word Proccesing, Making Slideshows, Making Graphs, Making Databases, Writing Complex equations, and more. I reccomend the download.
I use a lot of other programs too, those are just the ones I use the most. Plese post more below, or comment on mine.
SLUDGE(www.hungrysoftware.com ) Another pretty flexible tool, to make adventure games. This goes a bit in SLUDGE style, so it uses objects, rooms, persons etcetera.
IrfanView(www.irfanview.com ) An utility to view images in tons of different formats, and even apply simple effects to them.
FooBar2000(www.foobar2000.org ) A nice little lightweight audio player which supports tons of formats. It also allows you to play audio CDs and convert any playing audio to different files (even CDs).
World Creator(www.inet2inet.com ) A good program which allows you to give effects to your graphics, make them in 3D-view and isometric view, and combine some graphics in a special way. Good for making isometric games.
I'm sure there are more useful apps I use, but I can't really think of them right now.
I use:
Multimedia Fusion: Game Design
FireFox: Web Browser
3D Studio Max 8: 3D modeling.
Install Creator Pro: Installer
SnagIt: Screenshot Program (better then Print Screen)
Camtasia Studio: Records the screen.
Dreamweaver: Website Design
SmartFTP: FTP client.
Etc. Thats a basic idea of the programs I use.
MMF: MMF
FL studio 5: music composer
Blitz3D: you know what it is
Photoshop 6: you know what that is too
Endorphin: a really cool physics application
and the normal crap like notepad, media player, firefox, nero, blah blah, etc..
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
I thought this would be another one of those-
"Omg i fund this supar good gaem program on teh internt its calld gaemmaker and its a hundred time bettar then tgf lol rolf"</a> -posts
Anyways:
Games: KnP omg
Giffies: MMF
Html: Notepad
Other stupidness: Paint Shop Pro 9
Web browsing: Firefox
Modules: ModPlug Tracker
FTP: CoreFTP
IM: Msn messenger
Wasting my spare time: SWAPM INVADORZ LOL ITS SOO GOD LMAO
Can you people be less lazy and post the links? I've never heard of some of them before and I don't really want to Google 30 different things.
Smeby, Flash 4 is a bit old
I think he's lucky to have Flash at all; I want Flash 8, but it's just too expensive ($800 USD for Pro).

I would never say anything is better than MMF, maybe TGF though. I know that MMF isn't the most powerfull game engine around; but it's really cheap compared to others, NO CODING REQUIRED, and you can get a pretty darn good result.
I have a few more programs to add to my list:
IM: Yahoo Messenger
Drawing: Paint Shop Pro (I might switch to The Gimp)
Simple Text: NotePad
VoIP (Voice-over IP): Skype
Online Email Client: GMAIL ( www.gmail.com )
Offline Email Client: IncrediMail
Website Host: Doteasy ( www.doteasy.com )
Well, you guys were too lazy to put in links, so why should I bother?
