For the web (full websites) Flash is dead. But ActionScript lives, I've been building iOS and Android Apps with AIR, it's the way to go.
For the web it's easier to explain to a client that a website will only works on modern browsers than try selling Flash.

I miss the old days of flash. browsing portfolio sites, surfstation, were-here and even flashkit. I dont do shit no more. Almost every site look the same now. Flash made sites more fun. I remember when this site went online: http://wireframe.co.za/yulia/eng… I though how the fuck are they doing the roll-Overs with the image in the header. I could spend days and nights trying to figure that shit out. Good times.

Web tech is in a better position now than it's ever been. HTML5, Javascript, Canvas and WebGL have added more in the past year than Adobe added to Flash in 5 years.
If you can't think beyond wordpress isn't that your problem?

The support for those technologies is schizophrenic.
And there's not an authoring tool (like Flash) that makes them work seamlessly.

Flash was a terrible authoring tool, Flash developers haven't used it in years, Adobe hasn't updated it or fixed the most basic of issues in it for years, Adobe doesn't care about it or it's users and the animation tools are a joke in it.
Of all the positive things you can say about Flash, this isn't one of them
