instead of flash, is there any other applications that are only devoted to game developing swf files?

All pros use Flash for animations (unless they're raster) and the really big boys use Flex for all the coding.

Technically, you don't actually need Flash itself to develop games. You can use Flash Develop, Flex and such programs. Most people agree they're better than the actual Flash IDE.
