Yes, but...

You can't listen at sockets, so all SWF based clients would be "not
connectible", those clients wouldn't be able to connect to each other.
It would be bad for the network.
So, if you had the original seeder as the only connectible node, and
the rest all SWF based clients, then all clients would have to
transfer all data from the seeder and there wouldn't be /any/ p2p
traffic.
