There is a mod player for Flash that works fairly well, but there is not a MIDI player for Flash at all, at least not one that actually works out-of-box. You will need to make synths and all that jazz. I have used the mod player inside of Flixel as a replacement library for music to keep the filesize low, and the CPU hit is minimal.
I put most of my logic into XML files, but the variables behind the logic are held inside an array or database table. Sometimes, however, I just use plain ol' boolean variables and that's it. It really depends on what I'm making.
If you try Tiled and do not like it, try Ogmo. Ogmo is great for a RPG, because you can customize entity types to place on each map. You also do not have to recreate those entities later. They are all saved in your project file. To me, Ogmo feels much like a RPG Maker map editor.
As far as game engines go, it is a toss up between Unity3D and Flixel to me. Flixel has been great for quick prototyping in FlashDevelop. Unity3D has that nice do-whatever-you-want feel, but it lacks the programming environment I am used to. I am experimenting with NeoAxis, though, as yet another alternative in case I want to step away from Unity3D.
As far as languages go, I love ActionScript, and Haxe is like ActionScript on steroids, but both of those are part of very tough platforms to get into. If you are a beginner, I recommend using either Maratis or Love2D. Maratis is a Blender-based game engine that utilizes Lua scripts. Love2D is a simplistic 2D engine that utilizes Lua. Love2D is brilliant, and I strongly recommend you start with that, but if you need 3D/Blender support, Maratis is also pretty good.
Anything under CC-BY has to be credited to the original author (you) and all derivatives (including work made using your work) must also credit you in addition to the artist who made the changes. However, without the SA component of the license, you allow people to license derivative work under another license. Credit is still required, but any work that is derived from the derived work would be under the new license. Complicated, I know. I think you should either pick CC-BY-SA or CC0. CC0 just means you let anyone do whatever they want with your work, but you cannot enforce your credit. CC-BY-SA is probably the license you want.
Any work under CC-BY-SA must have all derivative work shared under the same license as the work it is based on. For example, if some of these parts are used to make a ship for a game, the ship artwork would be considered derivative work of your ship pieces and would be required to be shared under the same license despite any additional work done to it. The game itself would not have to share the same license.
However, you should not pick both CC and GPL. The licenses are not compatible and could cause the end user to wonder if they could use your work in commercial work. GPL licenses are a pain in the ass in my opinion. I would go with a CC license every time. Here's the CC license you chose: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
I have not had time to check the files, but how is the shirt icon put together? Can the color be changed easily? I'm thinking if the shirt itself is grayscaled, you could apply the color as another layer. :)
It is actually a very low poly count from the looks of it. The hands may be the exception. I haven't actually opened the blend file, as I don't have need for a base model like this one, but it looks fairly low-end. Nice work on the form of the upper legs and chest. The hip needs some adjustment but not a lot. I cannot comment on the back side, though. Butts are kind of difficult to get right at this level of detail.
I failed to mention before that I like this model. It is featured in my public domain collection. I would like to see a more robust rig, but beggars can't be choosers! ;)
Nice work. With a few shines added and some other flare, I think they would be Unity asset worthy. You should seriously consider selling art assets on the Unity3D store, because you seem to make assets people actually would make use of.
I like that you have a palette tool, but it would be nice if each color box took up about 25% less space. (Very slight change, just think it would look better.) I also think the right-click should be used for erasing so you don't have to change tools. Not sure yet what else could be done outside of improvements you are probably already aware of, like more tools, resizing the canvas, etc.
The app is really cool. I would probably use it in the near future if I make any pixel art. it looks fun.

Not really worth animating... the frames do not smoothly integrate with each other. That said, very nice art.
