For Flash narratives, I am very fond of Barry Smylie and Ian Campbell's Toon
http://www.barrysmylie.com/flash/toon/toon.htm which is a quite un
comics-like experimental cartoon, but one which is actually fun. I also
like Smylie's Apartment
http://www.barrysmylie.com/flash/apartment/apartment.htm These are old
works, but they are good because they have good ideas and symbolism and
narrative styles, not because they were technologically advanced at their
time.

A slightly more recent Flash narrative is Robert Kendall's Clues
http://wordcircuits.com/clues/ (which his site says is in progress still; is
it?). Kendall's Soothcircuit http://wordcircuits.com/soothcircuit/ really
stretches the notion of narrative, but is somewhat narrative and is
flash-based.
