I personally think that flash makes a website clunky and slow to download. Javascripts are ok as long as they aren't over used. A good language to use is PHP - its old and clunky, but it gets the job done and it is a lot harder for hackers to see the code because it gets processed on the server. Javascript gets downloaded and processed on the user's computer.
Macromedia's Dreamweaver is a better program than frontpage (or expressionweb as it is now known) simply because he doesn't insist on putting in so many extra unneccessary lines of code!
Hope that helps!
