Flash players had zoom built in. And I believe there were textareas that allowed people to copy and paste text if they wanted, though it wasn't very common

Flash was the last thing that got people excited for the Web generally

The zoom was limited to the frame that the flash player sat in, so you'd end up with different parts of the website at different zoom levels.

Also flash wasn't responsive and couldn't flow like real website content can.

That's only because all the capabilities were new, now they're built into the web itself. See:
