Sorry for my intromission but... I can't understand why you are thinking about a "clash"...As stated by some authors, AJAX is nothing more than a summing up of different technology (i guess that for some extent It can be called up as an architecture) therefore I think there is "room" for flash and whatever else (it mainly depends upon what you have to do, your goals, aims, etc etc)...
...I guess a good starting point for ajax is backbase.com (there is a community edition if you wanna try out some ajax flavour)... ...just take a look to understand better...It is what I am doing actually...that means...Can i gain something functional to my aims knowing the way ajax works and is implemented? How can i come up with something "public catching" and useful putting together the stuff I Know and the whole of open standards around the web (content in its varying forms)... ...Still can't understand why many people around are so flash-frightened...(some argue about excessive cpu usage...but...are they talking about ads? or RIAs?)... ...anyway...Let's see what is going to come out!!! Best to all of you while I come back to the boring work I am doing now!
