[COLUG] What good uses for Flash are there?

What good uses for Flash are there?  

The biggest use I see for Flash is for annoying animated images, 
like animated GIFs, but one can not disable Flash animation, 
so Flash is even worse than GIFs.  

The next biggest use I see for Flash is for little movies 
about products.  Unfortunately, one can not jump back and 
forth within the presentations.  One has to start at the 
beginning and suffer through all the drivel to get to some 
crumb of info.  

The best use I've seen for Flash was for satirical cartoons.  
The content was significant, although one still had little 
control over watching it.  MPEG would have been better.
