Flash is scripted with a language eerily similar to JavaScript -- so similar that I assumed it was derived directly from JavaScript. In the hypothetical world where JavaScript was lisp... wouldn't Flash use that?

I think you're probably referring to Actionscript, which came much later in Flash's evolution and was indeed very much similar to javascript.
