Flash player runs the ActionScript code embedded in SWF. Browsers run the Javascript code embedded in web pages. If there are security vulnerabilities in either of these runtimes, malicious code can take advantage of them. The same arguments you're using against Flash and ActionScript can be used against HTML5 with Javascript.
