The case against Flash was (apart from the horrible security issues) mostly about stacked libraries, including Adobe's own UI library. You could code applications with remarkable performance and small footprint using the pure Flash Player target (neither Flash nor Flex, but pure AS3).
Regarding integration, some text elements featured basic HTML capabilities. Nothing terrific, but you could extend on this. (And, of course, XML parsing, but this is another story.) Also, later Flash Player applications (Air) featured a full-fledged WebKit element for rendering web views. That said, it was good thing that Flash had eventually to go, and, at times, the state of the web today is pretty reminding of this.
