Reggie from Dog Tags.At HoC I have been looking for ways to use flash to emulate our prefered organic style of designs. I find that most usages of flash is very slick. Not that I have anything against the slick look. Ghostbot does great work in a very clean style. Nelvana has a show called Grossology that we are boarding on that also has a good looking clean style using Toon Boom's Harmony. I'm just hoping to find ways of using flash's power to make organic design and animation easier. I'm also not willing to compromize the quality of animation for speed of production.
So far I've only found a ripping good illustrator/animator, Pascal Campion. If anyone knows of other good examples of flash used more like rougher classical animation, I would love to hear about it.

They are many animators who use Flash now purely as a traditional animation tool. Taking the classsical approach they know and love and simply using Flash as a tool to acheive the same look.
Rachel Morrison for exapmle has been animating in Flash for 5 years, treating the software like digtal paper varuois ruff stages with keys, breakdowns and inbetweens, then eventually clean-up and color:

Along with other artists we've produced other shorts where all character and effects animation were done by traditionally trained animators using only Flash to make more organic-looking and classic cartoons for film and television:
