Getting different players?

Hi,
my fla video files are in the vod folder and to be shown through http they are streaming through the videoPlayer.swf file (that came with the server), right?
If that's how it works, and this is the file that is the player that comes with fms, then there are a couple of things that are not that good: you can't click anywhere on the timeline, have to drag the moving timeline pointer, and the same about the volume.
Where can I get another player(s) that will be more like the ones that the flash streaming sites use (youtube, google movies, etc.)
Thank you.
Anna

    Calmchessplayer, thank you for your reply.

    Is there a place where I can get a premade player? I don't need anything fancy, just a simple functional design.

       And I am right in understanding that a player is a .swf file, right?

       Thank you.

    You can build simple one using FLVPlyback component which comes in Flash Authoring.

    I found one link on quick search : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/custom_flvcomp.html - looks little outdated, but there should lot of such article and probably newer ones. Just try to google around.
