Theoretically you can use any mission you like in multiplayer mode - you simply 'swap' to it using a facility suc as MultiSwap or MPSU (the latter is better as it allows you to set 'allegiance' as well and I think works with both CFS1 and CFS2).

The problem is that any AI aircraft in the mission will behave strangely and attack each other (and you if they can!) until they are all destroyed.

Multilplayer missions work best as context for team-based games, allowing for the provision of flak and targets (sadly targets will be not shared - you won't see one of your team mates blow up that factory, you'll only see it when you destroy it and it'll will still be ther for them until they destory it).

I only tinkered around with offline missions, but I used both the following tools when doing so - there are links to them all over and I think you can find them here at SimV as well along with some useful tutorial material:

Keith Bedford's CFS Mission editor
Cor Dickland's Mission Editor 3.0

Whatever you use, to play your mission online, you'll still need to specify an appropriate start location duroing set-up and one or both teams will still need to use CFO to warp to their airbases.

Hope this helps - take a look at the other postings in the Forum - there are quite a lot of questions relating to mission editing - I'm sure you'll pick some useful stuff up.
