I really think Flash is the best solution to many, many problems on the web. You get the layout and the fonts you specify with Flash. No other technique does those things, really. The only real problem with Flash is that it's not supported on some of the mobile platforms, and that is what killed it.
The HTML5/CSS techniques are not "better" by any stretch of the imagination. Frankly, they aren't nearly as good as Flash. There's an exception, in some browser, to almost anything you try to code with HTML5/CSS. Just about anything you put out is going to break somewhere, some time.
Flash had much better cross-platform consistency. Google had figured out how to search the content, so it works for SEO purposes. Flash was golden until Steve Jobs got a stick up his ass about Adobe.
