@Litwr
IMO, there is no real difference between Java and Flash. Flash was always stepping closer to Java, which was a complete programming environment from day 1, while Flash needed 8 versions (and about 10 years) to catch up.
Since M$ is trying to force Java out of Windoze, Flash has a lot wider market share. Nowadays even development environments (with forms and all the stuff) are built on Flash, but this is just up to M$, when they decide to force Flash out of Windoze it will fall just as Java did a few years ago.
(And yes, M$ has plans...  They are developing their own, "internally controlled" Flash replacement environment, called Sparkle http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1914903,00.asp, probably this was behind the scnenes, when Adobe bought Macromedia.)
Sorry for the off, I don't want to keep going on this topic, just wanted to say...
