Here's a site that uses a lot of Hype - An inline responsive site created using Freeway with page content either alternating vertically between Freeway content and Hype content, or in many cases, having Hype content on a layer over a background placed in Freeway. The Hype content is fully responsive and works great on all sorts of websites. I come from a background in Macromedia Director (big brother of Flash, used mainly for game development) and am used to intense control over everything. As a Flash replacement, Hype tends to set the bar. The shortcomings: limited control over content loading (can load individual elements by scene if desired) and they have not yet released a version that supports a shared resource folder (though rumor has this as being in the works). I've used Hype for everything from animated buttons to elaborate interactive animations. It can even be used for creating entire websites, if desired (but due to the tendency to get carried away with cool content I shy away from using it as a full-blown web design app). You can also use it for creating iOS apps and widgets (I've used it for creating interactive content for iBooks Author, including exploded product views, slide-shows, etc.) It also has a live-connect feature so that you can sync your iPad or iPhone so that they display the project live as you design it for instant testing. It has its quirks (quite a many), but I suppose demand for responsive sites was the last nail in the coffin. I set up a responsive template document in master pages with a range of elements that I turn on and off by breakpoint and that removes the headaches. The capabilities are still pretty darned good, plus I use Hype for the cool stuff.
