The only way to stream MP4 video to Flash Player is through Flash Media
Server.

There have been some successful experiments in emulating the seek-ing
ability of streaming by using progressive download and building new videos
on the fly based on url parameters, but that's not true streaming (whether
that matters depends on your requirements).

Really Adobe should support RTSP.  Ask for it here:

Subject: [flexcoders] Streaming Video in Flex using Windows 2003 Server

Anyone have any examples of how to code Flex to stream a video hosted
on a Windows 2003 streaming service?

Once I enable the streaming service on my server, I need to know:
1) How to point Flex to that file
2) AS code to initiate the streaming.

My assumption is that I need to use a streaming server...but if there
is a better way to handle a 40MB MP4 video, please let me know. I
haven't done anything with video in Flex before. I'm looking to be
pointed in the direction of a best practice.

Thanks,
Don
