It probably cannot be made to work with flash (without Adobe's help.) To build a p2p system like this, you need greater access to the OS than the flash sandbox will allow. The only way to get this is through a browser plugin. Octoshape had a special deal with Adobe where the flash player would install the Octoshape plugin, without the user having to do anything. This was because the code was signed by Adobe.
