Flash animation is going to be the best method for doing stick figures. I'm primarily a 3D animator, so outside of Abobe's own products I don't know of many free Flash animation packages.
But I did find this website that seems to link to every bit of open-source (i.e. free) flash related software: http://osflash.org/projects
And your best bet is probably going to be Ajax Animator This is a very impressive AJAX based interface for animating in Flash.
For 3D there's Blender, which is an open-source animation package. It's pretty powerful.
