Flash 8 isn't legal, but I saw that Macromedia Flash MX 2004, which is an older version by two years, IS legally free, as the serial code for activation is on Adobe's website itself. The download unfortunately isn't on Adobe's website, but you can find another website and use VirusTotal online to scan the download. Error, "Unable to Activate" in Macromedia legacy products is a link for the serial code for activating the product, and here's a screenshot of me using Flash MX 2004 below. Hope this helps more.
