Do you care about open source for the player, the development tools, or both? Probably your first stop should be http://osflash.org/ ("Open Source Flash"). The Adobe flash player itself is not open source; there are open- source flash players (gnash and swfdec), but I don't know how well they work. They might be more usable if you're targeting them specifically -- that is, if you're writing the animation program, you can just work around any bugs in the open-source flash players. It is possible to develop for flash using only open-source tools; keywords to look for include haxe, mtasc, and swfmill. (This is what I remember from looking into open-source Flash development around a year ago, so this is certainly not a complete current list.)
