Succinctly put there. 🙂

Basically Flash is an animation program you can use to build cartoons, sites, banners, the works. It’s generally used to make multimedia based sites, with a high degree of user interaction.

Dreamweaver is as stated, an HTML editor, used to build web pages. You can embed a Flash movie into a page built in Dreamweaver.
