An understanding of Widgetbox may help. Widgetbox is a widget farm. Most of the widgets found there are created by persons other than the Widgetbox company. Sorta like Youtube videos. A couple of years ago, I would agree that there were more Flash generated widgets than javascript widgets found on Widgetbox. Today most of them are created via javascripted code. The format has changed also. If you look at a widget, if it is written in different formats, you will see a Flash code option available. It would be the middle of the 3 different codes normally shown. If you want a javascripted widget from Widgetbox or Google gadgets, you can add them to your wiki by following instructions outlined here. This method can be used for all widgets. The one shown is for Google gadgets and the only thing different is the terms used for getting the code. But placing the code onto a wiki page will be the same whatever the widget or gadget is.
