what is the difference between flash ans swish?

Swish: This is a good solution if you do not have a lot of knowledge regarding the coding and animation that are required to make flash movies, for this program basically makes it very simple to create one. There is a few little interactive 'actions' that can be set but nothing too complicated for an average user. Lots of users prefer to simply use Swish for their text effects. Then, they import their work into Flash to save time with the animation. An average computer user could use Swish and figure out its features and tools pretty quickly. It has a number of effects that can be used to bring in and fade out text in different manners. Its main limitation: even though it can import images, only certain effects can be applied to them.

Flash: This is the full application with all features and actions included and ready to go. This program can be very confusing to someone that has never used it before. The time line and the way the objects need to interact is very confusing. Macromedia Flash is very powerful if the user is a savvy graphic designer. Users can create interactive movies and interfaces and even interactive animated shopping carts that interface with PHP or ASP for the back-end. The learning curve to get familiar with this application is higher than the one required learning Swish. http://www.flashkit.com is a great resource for checking some code examples.
