after all of the bad experiences with Flash only websites for UI/X and games developed for FB distribution, I had almost forgotten about all of the animated shorts and what not other clever use of Flash

If my memory is correct, the entire Peppa Pig[1] TV Series was done in Flash. Many other popular TV series were done entirely in Flash. A good friend and fellow Flash champion, Chris Georgenes[2], did quite a lot of good animations during the early days of Flash.

Hey Duggee is animated in Flash

This show is a masterclass in animation, I have to say. Everything is built out of essential geometric shapes, yet has an incredibly strong character. Brilliant stuff.

I think it looks kind of terrible to be honest. I'm not surprised at all it's made with flash. It looks like the sort of thing a talentless non-artist who can only make basic shapes like me could manage.

Peppa Pig is much better animated IMO. Or should I say much better drawn. It doesn't have much animation either but the people that do the drawing are clearly better artists.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was done in Flash. And that show went on for nine seasons.

Also afaik the first season of Bob's Burgers was done in Flash.

Some episodes of Harvey Birdman were done with Flash:

I think some of the early Venture Bros. eps were too.

Charlie the Unicorn was done in Flash, that is at least the initial episode.

All of Stone Trek (a superb Star Trek TOS/Flintstones crossover parody – https://www.angelfire.com/fl/sapringer/STDOTCOM.html) was done in Flash.

All the work of Y0UNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES up until 2018 or so was in Flash (last version of their page before they switched to video files: https://web.archive.org/web/20180109044355/https://www.yhcha...).
