Concentrate on learn Dreamweaver first, then Flash, then HTML.
sorry mate but i really couldnt disagree with that any more. Yes you SHOULD learn HTML. Its not essential for crappy home sites but it is the moment you start working on anything on a mid to large scale.

also DHTML has nothing to do with PHP (thats server side scripting). DHTML is the use of JavaScript, cascading styles sheets, etc. the difference is quite a massive one
