The real problem with flash, for websites, is that it doesn't handle different resolutions very easily. Which wasn't an issue when everyone was on 800x600, but explains why it started dropping off when people expected their site to work on phones, tables and desktops of different aspect ratios.
That being said, I remember when people had entire businesses building drag and drop flash websites, before Wordpress took off.

@rastilin@aus.social @ifixcoinops@retro.social I also had to unfuck several such “websites” for friends of mine once even Muggles realised Flash was dead. Very hard to do when the guy who made the Flash version was in the wind and of course had not left them with any source materials!
