First of all, are there any outstanding features you want? You might as well use RPG Maker if your just going to make a normal RPG...

If you just want a battle system, learn the language of RPG Maker - I believe XP uses RGSS. If you think about it RPG Maker is NOT limited if you just want a couple unique things - if you were going for an mmorpg with dynamic POV then don't use it... but with a simple script you can rearrange a menu in a matter of seconds. (Changed coords in scripts is just a matter of reading which is used for changing menu positions)

You're missing the point. I don't want to rely on Game engines.

Ok... I know of a company that's made enough money from there RPG maker game to start a DS game... but if you really insist I can't stop you. As for the RPG question, check out YoshiEgg's coder topic.

Previous experience and all around conventional wisdom does say that starting an RPG as your first project or when you are inexperienced is usually a bad idea.

I have another question. Where can I find a good IDE for Actionscript 3?

So pretty much you're focusing on just C++ and Actionscript yes? Its gonna take quite a long time to learn those

perhaps a sticky of some kind should be arranged to answer these questions - "an introduction to programming" or some such
