There's no OpenSocial methods to store flash or photo data, but if you host images and flash from your own server, you can use the getProxyUrl() function to have a container cache your content for you. This should dramatically reduce the bandwidth needed to serve images and flash files.
SWFObject is a JavaScript library that you can use to embed flash in your application. Check out http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ for more information. To publish your application, you'll need to submit it to the directories of the social networks you want it to be available on. Most networks have different ways to submit an application, so you'll need to check the documentation for each network to find out how to do this.
