Yes, but the point of flash proxies, is to use them as bridges, what I meant is to allow OR's behind NAT to be relays or even exit nodes.

This is how flash proxy works. Clients register themselves as needing a connection, and then proxies connect to the clients. (The problem is that many *clients* are also behind NAT, and then it doesn't work so well.)
You can run a flash proxy just by going to a web page like http://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/, and there is also code to run a proxy in the background without a browser: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/7944.
