While both applications have similar tools and methods of creating shapes, they have differnt purposes.
Flash is meant to have the shapes created be part of animations characters. Illustrator drawings are intended to become parts of still images.
Flash's operations and tools, then are intended to support those functions for which it was designed. Illustator's powerful tools have different purposes. In Illustrator, the user is often expected to make artwork "print ready," while Flash is rarely, if ever, used that way.
Illustrator will, then, have color separation, choking, trapping, typesetting and many other operations that will not be found in Flash. Flash will have timeline, audio, keyframing and editing operations that you won't find in Illustrator.
You START, then, with the application you wish to use the most. Once you get good at using most of the functions of one, then, you will find the transition to the other a bit easier, since they DO share some functionality.

Illustrator! Its like Flash but with no scripting, and more versatile for image output should you run out of resources (time/money/inclination) to learn a second one.

it's good that you start with illustrator because for flash you'll need to draw your characters or go over your characters as well. but flash is not tough ;)
