Flash is supported in Macromedias Shockwave player, but Java also supports
flash, flash is more like a format (although I have heard people doing some
pretty extensive things in it, like making games).
Its like comparing VRML to Java3D, Java3D can load and use VRML data (with
the right loader), and you can manipulate the loaded VRML scene inside of
Java. Now I dont know how much manipulation Java gives for Flash so its hard
to say, but Java also support many other things besides Flash, other
streaming formats, etc.

The base page for the API that loads flash is here. I have no experience
using it, so I can not do much more then point you to information I
discovered.
