After Effects is a program that has FULL control over every aspect of effects in a video. After Effects is used for Visual Effects for movies, commercials, logos, etc. After Effects is different then flash. Flash is more of its own program creator. As in, Flash is more for application creation, making games, flash based content and the use of integration of XML for live updates, etc.
LOL. In other words flash is more for the web. It uses a rendering process (i forget what) that makes the ending file size smaller. After Effects' render is advanced, and it renders each frame one by one. The end files are huge, causing a 10 second clip to be over 1 GB.
