After some research, I understand vimeo pro account allows you to access the 
url where they store the video, so that will allow me to use video hosting with 
flex applications using spark VideoPlayer. That's the only solution I've found 
so far.

Subject: can Spark VideoPlayer access youtube or vimeo stored videos? 

I'm currently using Spark VideoPlayer in my web app to play a video hosted on 
my website. 

However, I'm concerned with my server's bandwidth if I host a lot of videos 
this way. Would like to move my videos to a 3rd party to host them for this 
reason. 

However, is it possible for the VideoPlayer to access a video hosted on youtube 
or vimeo, for example? 

The embed code provided by the 3rd party includes a URL. Is it as simple as 
replacing my server's URL with the 3rd party URL? Or, is it more complicated, 
or not possible? 

I only want users of the web app to be able to see the video (since they signed 
the terms of service agreement for the app), and no one else, that's why I'm 
playing the video inside the web app (e.g. not available to the public).
