In my humble opinion, those sites are an argument _against_ the use of 
Flash on websites. They may look pretty (I don't think they do, but I 
can imagine there are people out there who like the looks of those 
sites), but they fail as websites: long load times and especially such 
horrible navigation is a big no-no.

I guess there is a place for Flash, but it's certainly not appropriate 
as an alternative for websites. I admit that they _can_ be useful as 
objects on a pages, for example the games on the last site you mention. 
But please don't use Flash to design the website itself.
