What if we re-build a 2000's Internet?
Flashpoint: This is less of a website and more of a downloadable archive of Flash games of the past.

What is something that was successfully scrubbed from the Internet?
The Flashpoint project has preserved a lot of that.

A Software Glitch Forced the Webb Space Telescope Into Safe Mode. The $10 billion observatory didn’t collect many images in December, due to a now-resolved software issue.
You're looking for Flashpoint then.

I still use Flash in 2022
I was expecting "Attempt 3" to involve Bluemaxima's Flashpoint, and was surprised not to see it mentioned. Does anyone know why that wouldn't have been an option, or is this essentially what Attempt 1 would have involved?
For anyone not familiar with Flashpoint, it's a project to preserve old flash games and animations and keep them playable on modern platforms. It's open source and includes a huge library (including it looks like Hapland 1-3).

Any actual OG's?
Used to play this all the time, back then. It can still be played offline with BlueMaxima's Flashpoint: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

How to play SWF flash games on raspbian 64?
https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ (Collects a bunch of Flash games and such. Not sure what they're doing to preserve the ability to play them.)

I've spent the last 2 years making a desktop environment in the browser to use as my personal website
Appears to be something called "Ruffle" https://ruffle.rs/
I actually do allow Inspect on mobile if you right click the desktop (hold on mobile), using a library called Eruda (https://eruda.liriliri.io/). As for how I run flash, that is another library called Ruffle (https://ruffle.rs/).
Indeed it is. I've found most websites that still do flash are using Ruffle. I think there are alternatives but they are not as popular. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle

What is something that was successfully scrubbed from the Internet?
They use Ruffle which translates Flash into WebAssembly.

SWF players look different using the same file
Ruffle is a Flash player emulator, and will be able to play SWF files the way they are intended to. However, language and API support is not yet complete, so some SWF files may not work properly while support is forthcoming.

I still use Flash in 2022
I recently used Ruffle [2] to get some Flash applications [0] working in the Pro version of my web browser [1], which is specifically designed to be remotely accessible and embeddable in an iframe. To run Ruffle on pages that require it, I utilize the Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol [3], similar to how a Chrome extension content script operates. Ruffle itself relies on WebAssembly and runs smoothly. It's been exciting to see the audio and video functionality of these old games restored and being able to play them again.

Really great writeup. So people stop asking the obvious question, here is the GitHub issue that clearly shows Ruffle doesn’t support ActionScript 3:
https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues/1368
I recently picked up a copy of Flash MX to use on an old PowerBook, highly recommend others do the same. As many have commented, today’s authoring tools are poor substitutes (someone should do a list of the superior abandonware versions of SaaS products).
Some of the better years of my life a little over a decade ago were spent on mofunzone playing the stick figure fights with friends. I remember bullet time fighting (matrix clone with swords, guns, slow motion) and there was also an amazing action narrative series called Ray with Southpark themed characters and one of the craziest platformers I ever played called N. I managed to snag some of these a while back and preserve them offline and can still enjoy them using https://ruffle.rs/. There was so many memories just came back, wouldn't have time to list them all here.
Surprising there is no mention of the wasm/rust-implemented flash player https://ruffle.rs/ in the article.
