Connecting to FMS from Flex?

I posted this over in the Flex forums and haven't gotten a peep in two days... I'm trying to connect to an FMS server with a Flex application. I can throw the rtmp URL straight in as the source for a VideoPlayer and it will work, but can't figure out how to get it to work with a NetStream. The pure Flash Video element works as in the FMS Flash demos, but is extremely laggy and lacks all the nice functionality of the built VideoPlayer.

Is there any documentation on working with FMS with Flex? We're at a point where we need to decide quickly if FMS will do what we need to do or if we should purse other technologies.

Thanks

That tutorial uses the same Video technique I'm trying to avoid...one that seems to not benefit from hardware acceleration as any video I play that way instead of with a Flex component is extremely CPU-intensive and laggy.
