People use flash because you can be 100% sure it works in the browser, no matter what PC, browser, connection speed or security settings.

The scripts you linked to, tries to download and run a script on the local computer. Most people will have both browsersetting and security setting that prevent that from ever running

So you are left with a "Error loading script" error on a blank page
You are obviously the one who is ignorant here.

1. Both Flash and Javascript run on the local machine.
2. Javascript is much more likely to run on all clients. Javascript is natively supported by 100% of browsers, unlike Flash which requires user to download and install the Flash plugin.
3. If your browser settings prevent you from using Javascript, then it most likely disables Flash as well. By the way, about 99% users have javascript turned on.
4. If the demos didn't work on your computer, it means your browser doesn't support HTML 5. You should get Firefox 3.5 to make sure it works. Within 5 years, 99% of browsers will support HTML 5.
