Cost money. Great for animation -- not making a button shrink or grow sort of thing, but characters doing things. Lousy for anything to do with websites.
- liquidise 3y agoFlash was excellent for making buttons grow/shrink. So much so that many sites had flash-based navs driving static html pages in the top row of their table layouts. Flash had its share of footguns in terms of code organization, but animating interaction was never a weak point.

Yeah, but it was a Frankensteinian bastard of a system. Pretty sure the accessibility of that was zero, and changing a link or adding a new button was never trivial. That was web-design for the worst reasons: for the designers and their clients, but not web-design for the users.
