So, how do online flash games work? like do they run off a domain? lets say I wanted a game where all you can do is just move a box around on a platform, or a topdown game or something. how do I make it online, or even use a LAN.

Is that possible, using the LAN?  
but, back to the main subject, can you give me a brief idea of how it works? don’t tell me you have to have a rpgram running 24/7 to keep it online…
