It's kind of like a more light weight language used exclusively on web pages to manipulate objects on the page and embedded in the browser itself.

Try a tutorial to get a feel for what javascript can do for you.
This one, for instance.

Ya, both, JS and flash is client side scripting (programming) languages. But in JS you are realy limited in graphics, maybe you will combine sophisticated JS'es and images. But in my view of point, flash and js are very very different. It is not easy to compare them because of theyr differences, working methods and required software to create and execute scripts

what do you mean by manipulating the objects?
do you mean that the style will not change but the content items in the page changes only?

yes, you are right. The main principle of ajax (javascript and xml) is to change page content without page reload.
