Leave Flash alone. It is a festering eye sore on the face of the internet, mostly used for insidious advertisements. You would be better off not looking into it, in my opinion.

Flash can be a very good thing for a website if used properly. Many individuals use way too much flash in their sites which make them seem like poorly designed sites but others who use it in good balance are the best sites on the internet compared to just plain HTML pages.

PHP and MySQL would be the way to go in the choice in developing a website. Those are the best tools (and free to boot) to use in web development.

The statements about DW are accurate as well. It really is not worth the money they ask for it. It is the best WYSIWYG editor out there but that only comes into play if you do not know any HTML at all. If you are knowledgeable with HTML then a simple editor will do the trick just fine.
