You might not be able to do it effectively in JMeter. I answered a similar
question a while back at a different forum.

Here's a rehash so you don't have to click on link:

The following tips for Fiddler might also apply to JMeter, but there's no
mention of Flash.

If I were in your place, I would go for this route:

Use a browser based HTTP request sniffer tool (ieHttpHeaders for Internet
Explorere, my prefered option. Or HttpFox and liveHttpHeaders for Firefox).

These sniffers will capture HTTP request traffic made by Flash. You can
then take the logged request info and manually recreate same requests in
JMeter. It's not as simple and easy as using JMeter record to auto-generate
the requests for you, but this method should work.

For more details and a possible solution to auto-generate JMeter test from
the browser captured HTTP requests, see the following article. I say
possible because you need to modify the article's script to generate JMeter
test plan as output, which it doesn't do.
