Flash is Ajax, or Flash versus Ajax, at the Ajax Summit
....
The Ajax model makes Flash (and Java, and ActiveX) unnecessary for some kinds of interface models. When I first wanted to make, say, a dynamically updating table, Java was the only choice; later, Flash was a much more pleasing choice. Now, Ajax/JavaScript offers a number of advantages over Flash: faster load time, consistent interface with the rest of the browser, a standard/free HTTP server backend, and broader development tool support. These advantages and others must be significant -- Google Maps could have been done years ago in Flash, but for whatever reason it wasn't. What I think will happen is that Ajax will be a "worse is better" solution compared to Flash -- that is, it will cover most of the functionality most of the people would want from Flash, and do it messier but easier.
Ajax or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is a term describing a web development technique for creating interactive web applications using a combination of:
* HTML (or XHTML) and CSS for presenting information
* The Document Object Model manipulated through JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented
* The XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. (XML is commonly used, although any text format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text, and JSON)

Voir par exemple l'outil Orgnizr de Flickr pour s'en convaincre.
