Hi,
I have so many work of creating flash websites and I am looking for a tool that can make flash websites by using wizard or something that can stop me to do rework.

You could use pre-made templates. I thoroughly advise against it but, nonetheless, it is an option.

A better option would be to define what it is that you're always "reworking" or redoing. Then, create a pseudo-framework using dynamic and modular action scripting so that you can simply plug-and-play.

For example, I have a set of classes and code snippets to do a plethora of common, tedious or time-consuming tasks. One such is for a MP3 player. It's one of the most common uses of Flash and I find myself needing that functionality needed a lot, I've created an OOP-based class for it. Now, anytime I need a MP3 player, it's a simple matter of "including" that MP3 player class into the current SWF. And it's all done.

So, I would suggest you examine how you're writing your ActionScript and see where you can make things more modular and flexible so you can reuse that same code later in similar projects. Also, if you're doing a lot on the timeline, think about if you can accomplish the same thing through flexible AS. It'll probably cut down on file size and save you work in the future.
