I use flash because it is great for drawing and animating simple 2D things.
I used to use it a lot on a website to show how certain things worked.  It
offers perfect quality for very little bandwidth and (almost) everyone can
view it in the webpage.

It depends on the content of your animation though, if it is simple 2D
vector graphics then Flash is by far the best way to go.  It's actually
quite a good 2D drawing package too once you get the hang of it.  I found it
quite hard to learn, it's not the easiest of programs to pick up.
