Is there anything on Linux that is similar to Macromedia Flash Pro 8?
Not quite. There's no tools that combines both the ability to create .swf files and the scripting engine in a nice IDE. KToon can create Flash animations and export them as Flash animations, but it lacks any real scripting support. haXe can be used to create Flash content as well, but it uses a different scripting format from ActionScript. There are some other tools available that I'll list below.
If you have a copy of Macromedia Flash pro 8 already, however, it runs well under Wine.
What do people use image manipulation for?
Everything! Just about any billboard, magazine ad, product label or digital photograph you have ever seen has been manipulated. Sometimes the manipulations are as subtle as increasing the saturation of the colors, other times the manipulations are as drastic as piecing together parts of multiple images to make one final image.
Image manipulation is generally used by artist to improve the appearance of the image. Of course it is also used for creating an image that is not "real" Either way the applications of image manipulation are endless and very commonly employed.

There are two fundamentally different types of graphics image - Vector images and Bitmap images.
Vector images are made up of lines, polygons etc. Bitmap images are made up of pixels of color.
The type of package used depends on the type of image you're trying to work with. Whilst there is some overlap between the two, ie you can create some vector artwork in photoshop and you can do some minimal bitmap work in illustrator, in essence illustrator is a vector graphics package where you draw your image with lines etc. Photoshop is a fully featured bitmap editing package

How to convert 240x360pixel photo to 3.5x4.5cm?
You have to change the aspect ratio first (the image has an aspect ratio of 240/360 = 0.667 and the output has 3.5/4.5 = 0.777). You do this by cropping your image, more exactly reducing its height to 308 pixels. You can use for example MS Paint for the job. After that print the image with a 27 dpi resolution and you get few mm more or less the 3.5x4.5 cm.
