macromedia flash player is completely different from directx.directx will enhance the graphics drivers present in your system and will make it a supportive for games and other graphical content.macromedia flash player is a player just like windows media player.but ,it will play only animated and highly graphical format files.

DirectX is a collection of APIs for handling tasks related to game programming on the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is most widely used in the development of computer games for Microsoft Windows. Props to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_x for the definition.
Flash isn't better because games have to be written specifically for flash and it does have limitations. Flash is for web-based or served games where direct x is a set of commands usable by any program that allows multimedia content.

DirectX (originally called "Game SDK") is a collection of APIs for easily handling tasks related to game programming on Microsoft Windows. It is most widely used in the development of video and computer games for Windows. The DirectX SDK is available free from Microsoft. The DirectX runtime was originally redistributed by computer game developers along with their games, but later it was included in Windows.
