Microsoft Flash. Netflix used it for a while. I don't remember anything else using it.

A bunch of Disney movie sites did for a while, back in the day when every movie had it's own website with trailers, promo, and a link to buy tickets and/or the DVD release.

The League of Legends launcher used it at one point. Not sure if it still does.

EA Tiburon in Orlando used flash for a while to do the menus in Madden and other sports games.
