I do mention under the XSS technique that creating an Iframe is one of the ways to communicate with a remote server, which is the combination you refer to.

Apart from the different skill set, it's harder to debug in an integrated environment and you'd also need to recreate content that could already be available in HTML / CSS format on the original web service. In my opinion Flash should be used for media playing (hopefully HTML5 would replace that soon) and for highly interactive applications (such as games). I'd rather stick to open formats and protocols when possible. A flash widget is an option, but it’s more convoluted and less accessible to your average web developer.

You can embed them on sites. This is probably the easiest way to got i think. You can integrate them in with addthis.com for sharing. Have you looked at creating flash widgets?
