There is no difference between them.

The flash is basically a hash, where values are retrieved by using a key.

so flash[:notice] gives you the value that belongs to notice, flash[:something] gives you the value corresponding to the key :something.

This means that in your controller you can do:

def some_method   flash[:otice] = 'this is a notice'   flash[:something_else] = 'this is something else] end

which you can use in your view:

<%= flash[:notice] %> <%= flash[:something_else %>

I was first also confused about the flash, I hope this helps

off course some typos :

controller has to be :

def some_method   flash[:notice] = 'this is a notice'   flash[:something_else] = 'this is something else' end
