Why don't you try Microsoft Office Visio?

Since you have Flash, maybe you have Freehand too? That's what most of the pros use (Robert Lang, Satoshi Kamiya, etc.)

Well I dont have any of this programs, Ill look for the Freehand... Well, But those programs are very expensive, is there a free program for linux or something like this? if there isn´t I´ll buy one of this programs

By the way, we have a good search-function on this Forum, that can help to answer questions that may be handled on this board before. Just use it and find out (for example you could have good luck with your copyright questions). To open up new topics if there are already existing ones to the same subject isn´t desired on this Forum.

Oh, and welcome on board

I don't know much about diagramming, but I guess Freehand is a vector drawing program. Then you have a free alternative called Inkscape both for Windows and Linux. I have not used Freehand and can not compare, but I guess Freehand has more features. But Inkscape is open source and is getting better.

You could try it out if you want.

You can also draw the diagrams by hand, scan them into the computer and have the program convert the bitmaps into vector graphics which you can then edit. Here is a tutorial for Inkscape:
