Flash websites don’t always get the attention that they sometimes deserve. When it comes to graphics, sound and interactivity they con often prove to be quite an experience for the user. In this roundup, I scoured the web and found a collection of 20 Creative Flash Websites that are worth checking out. Some use 3D animation, some interact with music, and some are just plain weird.

1. Easier Than Reading

2. Labuat
