Yes it has. You could even create your own shaders/filters with a specialized language. Frankly it's great that things like that can be done with js/html but people did way more impressive things 15 years ago.
I'm really not impressed at all, personally.
I think things are more polished now, because of bandwidth we can afford large images, videos, etc but back in the day there was some truly impressive Flash stuff.
I’m talking about hardware acceleration, antialias, no dropped frame and in sync with the monitor’s refresh rate.
Even a simple CSS3 animation beats the shit out of Flash in this regard.

I've been asking for a proof that Flash can be as smooth as native browser technologies. So far, I've seen only words.
All supported by flash, I just told you about the possibility of coding your own shaders with a C like language where do you think these shaders were computed?
> Well, show me a link then. We can still run it (not for long).
You know damn well that most flash content has been retired from the web.
My jaw dropped when I saw webkit translate(). Not everyone notices but it makes all the difference to some.

I’m sure most of the impressive demos can still be dug out.
I understand it was possible to compute on the GPU with AS3, but the end result, rendered inside the plugin box of a browser never felt this fluid.
