Read the story on that page carefully. What has happened is that flash 10 has increased restrictions over what features within the flash plugin can be invoked via javascript. This only applies to one specific feature (file uploads), and effects virtually no other flash features. It does not effect javascript's abilities in general, only the abilities of javascript to use flash in certain ways. This point will largely become moot once video/audio/3d/canvas becomes widespread and built into browsers, and flash as a result becomes less relevant- Particularly on low powered platforms like the iPhone, and Android which do not have flash- or the wii which only has an older and underpowered version of flash.
So in my opinion, to the contrary- This news story is reporting on decreased ability of the flash plugin to play well with javascript- It will not make flash replace javascript- Except as a workaround in the specific case of file uploads.
