The only way I know to make this work is to use a browser component. There may be an easier way as the method I used was a little convoluted. I started by using SWT through IKVM to create the window, and the SWT Browser component. The SWT browser on linux ended up depending on xulrunner, so I had to make sure that xulrunner was setup correctly to use the flashplayer plugin (possibly using nspluginwrapper if you are on a 64bit system).
I know that the winforms webbrowser control has recently been receiving some great improvements, so that may be an easier route (at least on linux, I don't think it works on osx yet). Another alternative would be GTK, and either the Gecko control, or the WebKit control. I haven't tried anything other than the SWT route, so you may have to dig further on the other alternatives to get anywhere. HTH.
