Flash sites are so small because both the graphics and animation are vectors, this means instead of having data for every single pixel or frame instead it just saves the direction, like a circle is saved as centre point, radius, fill coulor, line colour, line thinkness, this can cover an area of 10,000 pixels or 10 and it will still be the same size (well the radius will take up a little more space as it will be longer). the animations are simple start point, end point, methord, rotations, path (if used) so is the same size for 10 frame as it is for 100000 frames, this means that unlike normal videos there is no dat store inbetween the start frame and end frame each cell/frame is not a bmp image with every pixel taking up data. Also graphics can be put into the libary and reused at no extra space cost. That why so small pretty much lots of othe space saving methord, as for good flash sites

Generally because they're much more labour intensive to make. There is much more time spent on creating the individual interfaces of a full Flash site so naturally the size of the whole site is compromised. Also, it's not as easy to add new content to a flash site so they don't grow as quickly as a normal HTML site will.
Some flash sites I have enjoyed...
