The Flash side is much more oriented rich internet application (RIA), whereas HTML5 is more oriented semantic and standards. So if for you HTML5 is equivalent to Flash because it can make some rotation to a video component, or draw some lines, I would just answer that you may don't get the 'big picture' of both technology. Now about the word 'commonly' I guess it's just a matter of competences, an expert would answer something else that a beginner would do.
